So Close, Yet So Far
Tumblr media
IMAGINE: SO CLOSE, YET SO FAR ~ LUFFY X READER GENRE: FLUFF Mizpah- the deep emotional bond between people, especially those separated by distance. ********************
Luffy could have swore he saw something familiar. 
Something so familiar that it made his heartbeat increase and excitement fill his body. He would recognize that form anywhere. 
That’s why he didn’t hesitate to run after the familiar figure. Ignoring the calls from his nakama. Their shouts for him fell on deaf ears. 
“Ugh,” Nami groans while pinching the bridge of her nose, “I swear, those ears are just for decoration.” 
Luffy ran all around town, asking if they had seen this figure he saw earlier. He described this person with perfect precision, yet no one had seen them. It confused him, frustrated him even more. 
He could have sworn he saw you. The hope that filled him, just from the thought of seeing you, was too great. He wanted nothing more than to wrap his arms around you multiple times and take in your familiar scent that he grew to love. But you were too far away from him. 
Now that the feeling of hope was starting to fade away, another feeling replaced it. Longing filled his heart. It felt like you were just arms reach from him, but you weren’t. You were miles away, seas away even.
Luffy laughs to himself. It’s not possible that you were here. You were home, at Dawn island. 
“Luffy! What are you doing?” The ship’s cook shouts at him. Luffy was silent, not really hearing his question. Sanji was quick to notice this. “Luffy, is everything alright?” 
Luffy blinks a couple times, finally hearing Sanji’s voice. 
“Yeah. Just thought I saw someone.” “Oh, who?” 
Luffy grins widely, “don’t worry about it.” 
Luffy turns around and walks the other direction. 
Sanji doesn’t push it, but he thought it to be very for him to be acting this way. Maybe he was hungry? Yeah, that has to be it. 
Many, many hours later, the crew was heading back to the ship. Some were drunk and half awake. Some, taking care of each other. Luffy stayed silent the whole time. Something that the whole crew found weird, but decided not to bring it up. They didn’t want to jinx their luck. 
All Luffy wanted to do was head to his quarters and look at some of the things you gave him before leaving. 
“I was beginning to think that no one was going to return to the ship.” An unknown voice calls out once the crew is back on the ship- well mostly unknown. 
An unknown person leaned against the railing of the ship, flipping through pages of one of Robin’s books. 
While everyone either drew out a weapon, ready to fight if needed. However, Luffy’s reaction was opposite. His eyes widened, mouth forming into a huge smile. He could feel his heart start to beat faster like it used to. 
It was you. 
The same you he was looking for just hours ago. 
You looked different though. You hair styled differently, and you had a bit more muscle on you. But your voice sounded exactly the same. 
A deep inhale entered Luffy’s lungs as he couldn’t contain his excitement anymore. “(Y/N)!” He shouts happily and throws himself at you. 
“(y/n)?” The crew questions. Why would Luffy know this person? 
Laughter fell from your lips as you wrapped your arms around Luffy’s body. His arms wrapping around you multiple times. As much as he could, just enough to let you breathe, but enough to feel you as close as possible. 
“Luffy.” You breathe out with a happy smile on your face. It was surreal seeing him again. “I’m so happy that you’re here!” Luffy voices your thoughts as well. “Me too.” 
“OH!” Luffy says pulling away from you, “I want you to meet my crew!” He says, pulling you towards the confused crew members. 
“Who are you?” Nami questions. “This is (y/n), they’re from Dawn Island.” 
“Ooh, so is this another one of your siblings?” The blonde asks. 
Your face scrunches up at his words and Luffy laughs, “nah. They’re more special than that.” 
“Eh??!” The crew shouts at this revolution. 
“So wait… wait. What are you doing here then?” One of them asks. “Well, I got bored of waiting on the island so I went on an adventure of my own.” 
You turn to Luffy with a small pout on your face. You had told Luffy that you would wait for him when he first left the island. But you couldn’t wait any longer. You were itching to leave the island, have an adventure of your own. And then find Luffy on your own. 
“I hope you don’t mind, Luffy. I know I said I would wait.” 
Luffy’s grin doesn’t falter, “I don’t mind! You found your way back to me!” You laugh, “of course. I’ll always find you.” 
“Are you going to stay?” Nami asks. “If you don’t mind.” 
“Of course you’re staying!” Luffy says and relief floods you. You really didn’t want to leave Luffy again. And Luffy really didn’t want to leave you again.
You were finally here, with him. Within arms length.

hiii!
if youre willing could you please do (more) headcannons of (were)tiger!zoro x sanji?
or (were)tiger!zoro in general with the crew
HIIIIII YES YES ABSOLUTELY
he’s definitely very protective. if there’s one thing that can rival his tenacity for his dream, it’s his love for his crew. he knows that they can handle themselves but once the danger has passed he has to stand on his own metaphorical tail so that he doesn’t usher them all back to the ship and look them over one by one
even when he’s not a tiger he’s still vaguely cat-ish; he bristles when he feels threatened and yawns to casually put his canines on show as a subtle don’t-fuck-with-me. he just has a vaguely feline countenance to him. it’s in the way that he slinks when he walks, the head tilts when he’s focused or trying to intimidate, the way he tries to act uninterested but perks up when he’s excited 🤌🏼🤌🏼
(sanji finds it awfully endearing. he’d never admit it, though.)
the crew probably tries to keep the fact that he can shift under wraps, considering how many people would pay a pretty penny for his pelt (not that they’d succeed, but. still). HOWEVER. he’s a force to be reckoned with as a person, but if he gets mad enough even while around enemies/strangers he’ll just shift anyway and start ripping people apart with his teeth lmao, especially if his nakama need backup. the eyewitness accounts saying they saw a massive green tiger bounding across the battlefield with a sword in its mouth all sound crazy anyway 😭
i think he licks people just to fuck with them, but also to satisfy a grooming instinct. sanji definitely gets the brunt of it, since they share a bed more often than not; he’s woken up too many times to count with zoro nuzzling at his hair, or callused hands smoothing his bedhead back into place. when they’re arguing zoro will pop into tiger form and lick the hell out of sanji’s hair just to make the cook screech, but if he can tell that it’s not one of sanji’s good days he’ll cut it out because he’s a shithead, but not an asshole. come on.
DEFINITELY shifts when he’s getting yelled at. sanji or nami nagging at him? he turns into a giant tiger and flops down onto the floor to nap. sometimes he puts his paws over his ears for emphasis.
when they’re sailing through colder areas, he just watches indifferently as everybody else shivers and complains because he runs BLOODY hot and it doesn’t affect him at all. but then after dinner he shifts into his tiger form and pads around in a circle before laying down and blinks at them like …well? and they’re all scrambling curl up against him. he snaps at luffy’s fingers when luffy tries to pet his head, but luffy just goes “oop, sorry :p” and goes to sleep and, well. zoro supposes it isn’t all bad.
(he is so used to being the one pinning others down that the weight of his crew is an entirely new experience. he likes it more than he expects.)
speaking of touching. he only really welcomes sanji getting touchy-feely in his tiger form. he tolerates the occasional scratch behind the ear from luffy, because it’s luffy, but his captain knows he doesn’t really like his fur touched beyond that. enter stage right: sanji, who had the audacity to start petting zoro’s head absentmindedly while reading one of his french romance novels and using zoro as a backrest.
zoro had been purring before he even realised. then sanji had realised, and they’d both freaked out, and then zoro had scrambled up to the crow’s nest to figure out what the hell was going on. this whole incident was perhaps his biggest personal indicator that he liked sanji as more than just nakama; funny, because he hadn’t thought he’d like sanji very much at all, period.
he started paying more attention to how much he was willing to make exceptions for the cook, and sanji finally got the hint after weeks of zoro butting his head into his palm. it went something like:
sanji, scratching beneath zoro’s chin: nami, what do you mean he likes me? i do hope that he likes all of us, considering he’s— nami, about to jump overboard: you idiot. you fucking idiot. sanji, leaning against zoro’s side leisurely: nami what do you MEAN nami: HE CAUGHT YOU FISH. *pointing at the huge net full of tuna* sanji, zoro draped across his shoulders like a shawl: HE’S FEEDING THE CREW! nami, at her limit, eye twitching, so close to ripping her hair out: HE’S FEEDING YOU
mind you, throughout all of this zoro’s being absolutely useless and just sitting there incredibly amused. he hadn’t minded waiting for sanji to come around on his own, and that in itself was a sign that he’d been gone from the beginning.
sanji is the only one zoro has EVER rolled onto his back around. his belly is the most vulnerable spot on his entire body; sanji knows what a privilege it is. it’s essentially zoro’s version of puppy dog eyes.
i think he had plenty of run-ins with hunters when he was younger. his pelt is thick and vibrant and highly sought-after, and a few close shaves had left him with scars and major wariness of people in general. he used to hide the fact that he was a weretiger at all cost but now… well, now protecting his crew’s more important. s’not like they’d let anything get to him, anyway.
i see him as a wahnsien tiger, with black stripes and fur in various shades of green; he’s big, heavy too. the first time he woke up with sanji squashed beneath him he panicked a little inside but the cook was fine. his eyes are gold in his tiger form, luminous like all cats’ are, and hella unsettling.
which is interesting, because i like to think that after so many years he’s picked up a few tricks and now? he can sort of half-shift. lengthen his fangs or claws with a neat snk or make his eyes phase burning gold when he wants to scare someone; it’s a brilliant intimidation tactic but it takes a lot of concentration, so he only ever does it on home turf where they have enough territorial advantage for him to feel safe doing it.
wow okay this got LONG. i’m sure i’ll think of more but that’s all i have for now! THANK YOU FOR THE ASK ANON 🫶🏼

I've been thinking for a while about why I like Sabosan so much as a ship (even though I don't talk much about them. My mistake, honestly. I should do it more). Because we all know that out of the ASL brothers, Ace and Luffy are the ones who seem to make more sense when it comes to shipping them with Sanji. But there's just something about Sabosan that makes me go insane...
(Long post)
Lusan is quite obvious: Captain x His cook. Cook who starves as a metaphor for selflessness and who's always giving instead of taking x Captain who devours the whole world because he appreciates selfishness and freedom but is willing to starve to save his cook. Careless x Anxious. Sun x Ocean. Both are always sacrificing themselves but Luffy is at least aware of the value of his own life while Sanji sees himself as dispensable. They both work so well together because Luffy sees Sanji as kindness itself and what a cook truly needs to be (keep in mind that food is crucial for OP's story and it represents happiness most of the time) and he makes him want to seek freedom and his own desires. Sanji is a dreamer and he's hopeful yet extremely pessimistic when it comes to his persona, and Luffy is equally as hopeful but he despises his nakama seeing himself as unworthy of being in his crew. They both get each other's weaknesses and strengths and, okay, Luffy might not truly get Sanji completely but he doesn't need to as long as he sees the kindness in him and realizes everything he does, he does it for others. While Sanji sees Luffy as an escape from the prison he's always been locked in. My beloveds. Perfect dynamic (not going to make a whole analysis because I already talk about them enough here).
The thing is, Ace is also a perfect match for Sanji for a lot of reasons: You see, I think we can see a lot of similarities between them, especially the ones Luffy can't understand by himself but can link to both. Ace's way of dealing with depression and self-deprecation is to lean on his brothers and find a reason to live on them. If they love him, then at least it will have been worth it being alive. The same thing goes for Sanji, I think. It's not that he's actively suicidal. I don't think either of them seeks death, but they do think about it a lot and what the world would be like without them. Sanji sees himself as dispensable while Luffy can't believe a word he's saying, but Ace? Ace understands. He's been years thinking he shouldn't be alive. That he was a mistake. And the same thing goes for Sanji, growing up in a family that constantly told him he shouldn't exist and even faked his death. Once again, same thing with Ace and hiding his identity from the world. Ace knows he's loved, even if he has a hard time admitting why people like Sabo and Luffy would love him. But they do. It's a fact, even if it's hard to believe. And he keeps going thanks to their love and to protect them. Ace, although his personality might seem cocky and selfish and careless at first (which it is, but you know), he's extremely selfless when it comes to the people he loves. He literally lives thanks to them. Sanji basically does the same thing. Both of them cope with sabotaging themselves and they don't really value their lives unless it's someone else (cof cof Luffy cof cof) the one giving them a reason to keep going. I think Acesan works great as a ship because, from a more psychological point of view, like- Ace was born to be a brother. His whole character is created and introduced as Luffy's brother. Of course, he's more than that, but his chill and laid-back personality with sprinkles of emotional maturity only comes from growing up too fast because he desperately needed to take care of his little brother. Sanji desperately needs that type of connection with somebody and instantly feels attracted to protective people because he has never been protected before. Sanji has only been hurt by his brothers, so of course it's natural that he's astonished when he sees Ace for the first time being oh so kind and loving to Luffy. That's what he wanted. And it makes his heart melt instantly. Besides, going for a more personality thing here, Sanji is pretty repressed (when it comes to his memories. His gender. His sexuality. His feelings) while Ace (although he hides a lot of issues) is wayyy more proactive when it comes to what he wants. Sanji is scared to walk on earth, and Ace takes the world as his personal playground because he wants to be something that people remember that won't include mentioning his father. He wants to do something for himself. And talking about fathers, even if their daddy issues aren't the same, they both have grudges. And you know what else they have in common? Their gorgeous, blonde, dead mothers who died for them. Instant bond. They fit perfectly.
Now, about Sabosan:
If we're starting with the things they have in common, this is gonna be a wild ride. Both are nobles born in a family that absolutely did not love them but wanted them anyway for different (failed) purposes. They both escaped from those families but people thought they were dead for a long time, and their parents easily just found a substitute for them without caring much about what happened. Saying they have trauma is an understatement. They both escape from those lives completely, form new bonds with new people, and start a family somewhere else. And then they have to deal with that again and, not only that but suffer from the beautiful survivor's guilt that comes from not being able to save their siblings. I know Sabo's survivor's guilt is even worse because his bond with Ace was way stronger, but I think there's a part of Sanji who feels awful for Reiju and what she chooses to be a part of when she's actively different from their brothers too. Once again mentioning the self-sabotaging behavior and self-sacrificing acts because they're extremely selfless and have strong morals that lead them to these things. It's fundamentally different because I think Sanji is way more of a feeler than Sabo, but-- But the core of their personalities really is being extremely protective of the things they love and their ideals. It's not only the fact that they could bond over their pasts (and could easily be the only people understanding each other completely) but also the fact that their personalities fit perfectly. They balance each other. They're not the most mentally stable people in the world, but I think Sanji's issues are more similar to Ace's, and Sabo would know how to handle them. While Sanji is a natural caretaker and would not hesitate to take care of Sabo's breakdowns and episodes (because, sue me for being realistic, I think this guy has a personality disorder and depressive episodes and a bunch of other stuff. Just like Sanji, really. I mean- To me they're a very people pleaser BPD haver who has probably an eating disorder and anxiety x very overprotective Bipolar insomniac with memory issues. Maybe that's just me and my headcanons).
I am not going to be a nerd about them. But I am going to be a nerd about them. *pulls out MBTI profiles*
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sanji prioritizes connecting with other people. He's extremely empathetic and his core needs are to be liked and to help others. His ideals are focused on the suffering of others and how to help them. He's very structured when it comes to what he wants to achieve, but he often puts others before his own needs instead of actually taking what he wants, and that affects him negatively. Not to mention his sense of depersonalization and hatred towards himself and where he comes from. And how that makes him sabotage himself and think he's not worthy of the love people offer him. This is kind of exactly what Ace goes through too and that's why I think Sabo would be able to help him. He's loyal and trustworthy and he would do anything for his loved ones and morals. Something that, again, matches Sabo completely. His sense of ethics is very intense and focuses mainly on empathy. He seeks love, attention, and praise from others. And he's also extremely hopeful for his dreams. He never stops believing in the All Blue or Luffy, just in himself. Which shows his sense of trust and loyalty but also his low appreciation towards himself.
Sabo, on the other hand, is a more meticulous person. I know he seems like he loses control often, but he doesn't follow his feelings as much as it looks. He's more logical and he doesn't follow what he wants but what he thinks it's right for others and society. That being said, he also will do whatever the fuck he wants if he feels like it because he's chaotic like that. He has very strong morals and focuses on finding solutions to the world's problems. Instead of focusing on one thing, he sees the whole picture and specializes in many things at once and chooses what to fight for instead of following his feelings. He often has to make difficult choices regarding his loved ones, and even if he would do anything if Luffy was in trouble when it comes to the greater good, he doesn't hesitate to do what's more reasonable regarding his ethics. However, he has a strong sense of protection and his anxiety also is a huge part of his personality, so that's pretty much when he loses control. He feels mostly responsible for what happens around him and always wants to be the one in control and fears losing the ones he loves.
The main difference between them, I'd say, is that Sabo is pretty much revengeful and his personality has a strong part of hatred towards humanity and the ones who have hurt him and society. His whole thing is fighting against them, too. Unlike Sanji, who even if he is able to hate people, he doesn't seem to be able to actually hurt them in a meaningful way because his kind personality makes him unable to do so (unless the people he's fighting go against his morals. Like having hurt a woman or wasting food or whatever). Not that Sabo isn't kind, but he knows how to stand up for himself and his morality and he can tell perfectly between right and wrong in a very black-and-white sense, while Sanji (even if he goes to extremes quite a lot) lets himself be used and he doesn't harm others the way they harm him (not to confuse with "played with" because Sanji is not that easily manipulated. He knows what's going on all the time. He just lets himself be used if it will protect the ones he loves or if it goes against his kindness and morality).
So I think (and this is the part where I explain how this relationship would work) that Sabo would be able to protect Sanji. It's not that Sanji needs protecting because at the end of the day, he can fight back and he can stand up for himself, but that's only when it comes to fights that don't have to do with him personally and only with his morals. Sabo has a very calm facade. A very gentleman-like personality, even if he's still as chaotic as his brothers. But he's more gentle. He's softer, too, in a way, because he analyzes what people need. He approaches things in a very protective but soothing way. Like, he could burn disgusting men alive for Sanji, turn around at him and say everything's fine and Sanji would straight-up believe him and then blush uncontrollably and then hit him for being reckless. In that order. I don't think Sanji likes feeling weak, because he has this thing in common with Sabo in which he doesn't like not being in control. But I think he needs this. He needs to be held and taken care of sometimes. He needs to let himself be weak around others. And Sabo wants somebody to protect because he couldn't do it with his siblings. I think Sabo would be gentle and patient with Sanji while also bringing silliness and the typical brightness the ASL brothers have in common. He'd be chaotic with him and Sanji would definitely get mad at him for stealing food or wanting to do the deed (keeping it safe for work my pals, but yeah, Sabo would be horny 24/7 and would not let Sanji cook. He wants to fuc-) while he's busy. But! But also Sabo would take care of him and would analyze the patterns. He would notice when he eats. What he eats. If he eats at all. He would worry about his sleep schedule and whether he's overworking himself or not (because surprise! He does the same thing). And Sabo would also love every part of him and have such deep hatred for the ones who have hurt him. I think Sabo would want to take revenge but Sanji would strongly refuse and Sabo would absolutely love that about him. "You're better than me, I would've set your family on fire. But this is what makes you so kind" type of thing. Basically, Sabo is fucking batshit crazy but he's silly and kind and talks like a revolutionary French man in the 18th century and Sanji loves him. Also, Sanji has a history with craycray people because Pudding is not okay mentally either and look at him, being down bad. Sabo loves Sanji for the same reasons Luffy does, he's just kindness itself and Sabo is so full of hatred that he truly, really needs somebody like him.
And Sanji? Sanji just absolutely loves how protective Sabo is. When it comes to his family and his friends and his morals and beliefs. After being surrounded by people who did not care about anything during his childhood and also being extremely scared of ending up being like them, Sanji appreciates that strong sense of protectiveness and the humanity that comes with loving something/somebody so much. That's what Sanji needs, basically. Sanji likes that Sabo is caring and gentle and always keeps an eye on literally everyone and everything. He likes the brightness and joy that comes with Sabo too, because he might be calculative but he's also impulsive when it comes to his needs and likes. Luffy might be the representation of liberation in a godly way, but Sabo is the realistic personification of freedom. And as much as I love Lusan and making religious imagery metaphors, I think those fit Zolu way more because Sanji needs to be realistic with this and Sabo is the one who can make him see life this way. He would also care a bit too much about Sabo's health because everyone knows it's fucked up and he's willing to die if it's for the revolution. It's not like he doesn't appreciate his life, in fact, he does. He knows he is crucial to society and can't die. But if it's for the greater good he would leave Sanji and Koala and Luffy behind and die. He doesn't want to do that to them and he'd desperately try not to because he values his worth, but... Y'know. It's not that he doesn't care about living, but he cares too much that he ends up hurting himself and overworking. And Sanji does that too, but seeing it from the outside with an empathetic personality like his is just... Painful.
So while Sabo shows Sanji how to be free and feels hatred for the both of them, Sanji is the kindness in the world Sabo is looking for and gives him something to put his mind at ease when it's filled with demons. And also, they get each other's pasts and trauma on a fundamental level that not a lot of people do.
I don't know how their relationship could start, really, but it could happen in a simple way such as: Sabo pays a visit to the crew (fuck the timeline btw, choose whichever arc you like or just ignore canon) and meets Sanji. Offers to help him cook (fails because he fucking sucks at cooking and he just wanted to help and actually he just ends up flirting with him and eating the ingredients) and stays with him to clean the dishes (something he can't do either because he won't stop talking and being overly distracted). And Sanji just- He's just so similar to both Ace and Luffy but in a more mature and gentle way, somehow? He brings peace to him but there's just something wrong with him deep inside Sanji can't quite catch, but feels connected to. Like they both just get each other, pretending they're fine but knowing they're not and also just enjoying each other's presence. Sabo feels captivated by the cook because he feels like there's just so much more he's hiding from him, and Sabo has always liked analyzing every little thing (<- writer behavior. We as a society need to talk more about how Sabo wants to be a writer canonically). Maybe Sabo starts visiting more often or stays for a while, but the thing is they grow closer because they keep wanting to know each other more. Perhaps a fight against some marines happens and Sabo goes full protective of him or Luffy and Sanji is extremely turned on by that (who wouldn't after seeing Sabo break skulls like eggs). And maybe they end up fucking, and it's not rough, but it's not extremely soft either? It's the perfect mix of possessiveness and care and somehow Sanji still feels in control all the way through. And I don't want to mention the cigarette of doom but Sabo lighting up Sanji's cigarette for him would be extremely intimate but also would make Sanji worry because every time this happens, he ends up creating a strong bond with that someone and something goes wrong. So they like each other a lot but there's always this layer of anxiety? Like they care too much for the other to say what they are but they refuse to lose each other. And Luffy either keeps telling Sabo to not still his cook or teasing Sabo for liking his cook, no in between. But yeah, let's make them go into a relationship:
Clingiest mfs on planet earth. Can't stand them. Sanji is down bad and is turned on by every little thing Sabo does but also can't stand him when he gets annoying and ends up yelling at him like an angry housewife. Sabo often takes that as flirting and starts teasing him more, being really into PDA and also being extremely soft. Sabo says the most romantic things in the world and expects Sanji not to fall for him??? Okay. But it's not only Sanji who blushes because then he keeps feeding Sabo his favorite food and smiling at him and Sabo suddenly feels dumb and weak in the knees and has the need to laugh like a high school girl in a rom-com. Sabo is extremely possessive and I think as a fandom we all agree on that, but it's not even in a toxic way. Sanji likes it. Let them be like that. And as I said, they'd take care of each other when one is overworking himself or having nightmares or not being able to sleep or function properly. They'd be each other's anchors and they would completely understand the other.
I don't know, I just think they fit perfectly <3 Killer Queen and Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy? Yes. Anti-Hero and Mastermind? Yes. Sky x Ocean? Of course, fuck other dynamics, this one hits different. They mean the world to me 🩵💙🩵💙🩵
Tumblr media Tumblr media
To end this, I gotta say that they also look extremely hot together. I think the post would've been shorter if I just said I want both of them to kiss because it would look good, but I love analyzing the shit out of my favorite characters.
Tagging my awesome mootie @tinukis because he gave me the idea for a Sabosan analysis!!!! Thought you might be interested <3 Also, here's the post that made me think about it !!!!

Red Hair pirates anon here! that's totally fine! I get not wanting to jump into something without being more sure, since Shanks wasn't on the masterlist I debated at first but glad to know!
instead of that crew then what about the Strawhat crew then? Luffy invited new crew member after (incident they met/beat up the same person lol) then Luffy convinced this complete stranger to join the crew. its clear they're nervous/not so open in the merriment then it's revealed it's cause they're trans.
a much smaller crew/ship nothing stays secret forever, even if the Strawhats are friendly, new crew member can't help being wary from past rejections.
can do, anon~
coming out to the strawhats as transmasc
various trans/queer hcs for the strawhats word count: 1k
My readings of characters tend to lean very queer anyway, so you honestly could come to me and say that the SHs were an all trans crew and I'd take your word at face value - lets take a “”conservative”” estimate though and propose that it’s, say, only Zoro, Franky, and Robin as binary-ish trans folk
And Sanji (after the timeskip and a LOT of tumultuous unlearning of embarrassing amounts of internalized trans and homophobia) and Luffy as the sort of nebulous genderfucks; Sanji has the vocabulary to describe his disconnect with gender, Luffy however is completely feral and doesn’t care - one of those “ate my gender like a beetle last week” lil guys
Point is, no one on this fruity little crew would judge you for it, some might need a bit of explaining (namely Luffy) but honestly it wouldn’t change anyone’s perceptions of you afterwards - Luffy would just hit you with the ol’, “oh, so just like Ace, cool!” and then ask if you’d like to see the bug he found under one of the floorboards
Least of all the older members; you don’t get to Warlord status like Jinbei and still have trans people elude your periphery when you’ve got people like Iva running about, and Brook? Well, even if he set sail a lot earlier than everyone else on this crew, pirates are meant to be wild and free, who cares about what’s in someone’s pants so long as it wasn’t a weapon
Plus, looking at him now, what does gender even matter to Brook anyway? He’s a bag of bones! Yohohohoho!
It’s easier said than done though, I get it, not everything is outwardly supportive and you can’t always be sure from the jump - depending on when you join, too, it might just be you and the East Blue crew and it’s not like Zoro’s particularly talkative about his experiences
When the man comes back post-timeskip with top scars from the vampire dad himself, though, that line of dialogue might be a little easier to have; he’s very matter-of-fact about it, talking about what it was like growing up in the kind of environment his master’s dojo fostered, how stifling it could be at times, Kuina, and how he vowed to rise above it all in spite of that, for the both of them
It’s a tender moment Zoro doesn’t have easily, but if it’s with nakama he’ll manage, just maybe don’t mention the emotional vulnerability in front of anybody else, okay?
Sanji’s love language, as it’s always been and not always romantically, is through food and cooking for those close to him, he won’t mention it unless you bring it up but he does see you hanging back a little bit, understandable since not everyone is able to match the Strawhats’ bombastic energy right off the bat, but he does bring little snacks to you and make small talk in the hopes that you’d come around
He’s reassuring, joking about how the best of people probably wouldn’t adjust to this wild crew all that easily but you’d find your footing soon enough, share his reason for joining and you’d see the way he lights up when Sanji talks about the All Blue - nothing about gender was actually mentioned, but by the end of it you’d feel just that much warmer
Usopp and Nami have responses not dissimilar from each other but approach it from different angles - they’d have an inkling of what’s going on but not really the tools to help, maybe even turning to Franky and Robin respectively as the resident trans parents to help out with the situation, but ultimately handle it in ways both unique to each other
Nami would huff at Luffy and the other’s antics from the shade of her Mikan trees while you were nearby, tsk’ing about potential collateral damage once Franky and his weapons join the fray before pushing down her shades and asking if you’d like to join them, when you decline, she smiles knowingly and mumbles that she supposes there can be exceptions to boys being boys
Usopp is a bit more skittish around the idea, as he usually, is but it doesn’t take long for him to fire off into one of his tall, unbelievable tales about how he’d fought and taken down giants before you joined the crew (not entirely wrong depending on when this is), how he was determined to be a brave warrior of the sea just like his father, but most importantly he wanted to be a man that his crew could depend on
All three of them, Sanji, Nami, and Usopp, don’t address the root issue, but their intentions are clear - they want you to feel welcome on this crew, make it your home as much as they have
Post-Enies Robin would be more willing to help, although a repertoire would have to be built up first - that’s more on her own issues surrounding trust and being vulnerable - she’d be a lot more open about it after the timeskip, talking you through potential ways you’d be able to tell the rest of the crew and calmly soothing your worries about any potential (non-existent in this case) backlash
If you came to Franky at any point about it, he’d be SUUUUPER supportive from the start, surprisingly good at keeping secrets despite his usual bluster; he kept Pluton out of the WG’s hands for that long before it’s eventual burning at Enies Lobby, no? Franky’s the best hype man once the cat is out of the bag too, you don’t really get much “bro”-er than the SH’s loveable (suuuuper) Cyborg
Chopper would also be overjoyed to help out his nakama as the crew’s resident doctor, maybe a little too excited at first and you have to remind the little reindeer that you’re not ready for everyone else to know yet, but once he’s calmed down your health, happiness, and confidentiality is 100% in good hands
All in all, your crew will support you with whatever decision you make regarding this going forward (just like they always have for any of their own’s wishes), and hey, if you need a little extra reassurance, all you’d have to do is ask and they’d be more than willing to shower you in it

i wrote something short and sweet about luffy being in love with zoro. enjoy!
Luffy really likes Zoro.
This isn’t something new: Luffy likes all his Nakama, that’s why they are Nakama. He trusts and needs them all, yes, but that’s not enough: he also has to like them. He travels with them, fights with them. His crew is the one that will make him Pirate King, how could he not?
He likes Nami because she is smart, bright and scary, and because she cares so much about the people she loves. All of those things make her who she is, and Luffy likes that, Luffy likes her. Usopp can tell incredible stories, he makes the crew laugh, and sleep, and cry. Luffy didn’t know words could make him feel the things he feels when Usopp tells a story. And, like Luffy, he likes bugs, too! Sanji doesn't like bugs, but he likes to smile, and he is really kind. Kindness is something Luffy values very much, so he values Sanji, also. He loves to hear the cook talk about All Blue, another impossible dream they will conquer together. Chopper is fun, and responsible, and very hard-working. He tries, he really tries to match his Nakama, and sometimes Luffy wants to tell him that he doesn’t have to, that they like him like that, that he is enough. This is something that, sometimes, he would like to tell Usopp, too.
Robin isn’t as scary as Nami, but she is dangerous and intelligent and Luffy really likes to see her smile, it makes him very happy. He’s glad that Robin feels at home with them because she smiles more. Franky is just so cool, and he is a robot and an engineer and also a musician. How can somebody be so many things? Luffy really admires him. And finally, Brook. He is a skeleton. A skeleton! How cool is that? And he has been able to continue being happy, even after spending so many years alone. Luffy doesn’t want him to feel alone ever again.
So, yeah, Luffy likes his Nakama. It is only logical that he likes Zoro, too.
The thing is that he really, really likes Zoro. He likes Zoro a lot. And Luffy likes a lot of people, but he has never liked anyone as much as he likes Zoro, ever. At least, not in the same way.
Zoro is devoted. Zoro is loyal, and strong, and stubborn. When he is around, the rest of the crew will be safe. Zoro will tell him when he’s wrong, and Luffy will listen, because if Zoro tells Luffy he’s wrong, Zoro really means it. He knows Luffy so well he understands every ulterior motive Luffy can have. He gets him without the need for any words and that’s why Luffy loves fighting by Zoro’s side. Zoro asks for no explanations: if he needs them, he demands them. If he doesn’t, he just trusts Luffy with no hesitation.
But that’s not the reason why Luffy likes Zoro.
Luffy likes Zoro because he gets lost all the time. He likes Zoro because he’s got green hair and it looks pretty on him, and because he is really really stupid. He likes to look at Zoro when he’s training, and he likes the way his earrings sparkle under the sun. He likes feeling Zoro’s strong hands on his wrists when he’s thrown to the sea and Zoro jumps after him. He likes to see Zoro sleeping on deck. He likes it when Zoro laughs, and the way his smile turns dangerous before a fight. He likes Zoro with children, he likes Zoro alone, he likes Zoro with the crew. He likes being able to distinguish each and every one of Zoro’s frowns. Luffy likes the way Zoro speaks, the way he walks, the way he fights. Luffy likes the way Zoro scratches his nape when something bothers him. Luffy likes Zoro’s determination in becoming the world’s greatest swordsman.
All of these feelings are really difficult to understand and even more difficult to explain, so Luffy doesn’t bother. He just feels them, and acts on them, because for him, that’s the easiest way to understand and explain things. It’s the way Zoro gets things, too. They never talked much. It’s not necessary. So one day at sea, somewhere in the New World, Luffy wakes up and realizes he can’t take it anymore. He is not made just to look, to appreciate things from a distance, and he’s not a coward. So he wakes up and he goes to the kitchen, and even when his heart jumps in his chest at seeing Zoro, even when his mouth gets dry, he decides to act. These strange feelings (fear, excitement, shyness) won’t stop him. Excitement makes sense, but fear? Shyness? Luffy is never shy, never in front of Zoro. This is stupid. So he ignores the food under Sanji’s astounded gaze, and walks up straight to Zoro. The swordsman looks at him with sleepy eyes, and Luffy thinks Zoro is pretty and he wants to lick Zoro’s face, badly. So he does.
“What the fuck?”
Luffy ignores Sanji’s voice and looks up at Zoro. His face is red, and Luffy laughs.
“What was that, Captain?” Zoro stutters, and god he’s just too pretty.
“Zoro’s pretty!” Luffy shouts, beaming at Zoro. "I wanted to lick him so I did."
Zoro kisses him.
“Tell me when you’re finished” Sanji mutters, walking out of his kitchen

yooo can i plz request strawhats hcs with a dumb/humorous and energetic f reader? if u have characters limit then ignore!
Of course! My character limit is 9 so you can request aaaaaall of the strawhats! I love writing for these babies XD I hope you enjoy!
Luffy:
He absolutely loves...LOVES when you match his energy
He’s a very hyper boy, so finding you and seeing that you can be just as hyper as him if not more?
He loves it
He always invites you to play on the deck with Chopper and Usopp
He especially loves playing tag
You better run fast…
He’ll catch you in a tackle and have you both rolling across the deck
Sanji will scold him for being too rough with you, but you eat it up
You catch him similarly
You know he can take it when you tackle him
With his devil fruit you know nothing you do could hurt him
Every once in a while you’ll take his breath away...literally
But other than that, he loves when you both can play off each other’s energy
If you’re worried about seeming dumb to him...don’t even think about it
He’s not the brightest himself so he doesn’t even notice if you seem dumb
He also loves that you can make him laugh
“Tell another joke y/n!”
He will listen to your jokes day and night
Zoro:
At first...he found you annoying
He thought you were just as dumb as Luffy
But you were nakama
He would still come to your aid if ever you needed it
But after a while...he starts to see past the intellect
Your kindness, your humor, your drive
He falls for you fast once he starts to pay attention to you
His love language is quality time
So often he’ll have you sit in the room with him while he trains
He often won’t say anything, but he will often look your way to make sure you’re watching him train
If you wanted to train with him...he can barely contain his excitement
“I’m not going to go easy on you.”
Except he does
Every...single...time
He likes to laugh, so hearing your jokes is always a good time for him
He likes to nap with you, but you’re often too energetic for that
He understands, but he’ll nap close to you
Even if you can only cuddle and sit still for a few minutes
It doesn’t take him long to fall asleep, so a few minutes is all he needs
He doesn’t care that you leave to play with the crew
Just being around you for a short period of time is enough for him
Nami:
She didn’t pay much attention to you at first, since intellect is something she looked for in a partner
She’d befriend you, but didn’t think it would go anywhere
But she slowly fell for you as she watched you and the crew play
She didn’t participate, more than content to just watch with Robin
But every once in a while she’ll play with you guys
The crew noticed immediately
She never played with them…
But that all changed once you came around
You asked her so sweetly to join and she couldn’t say no to that face…
She gets a bit frustrated when she just wants to relax and cuddle but you can’t sit still
Eventually, she learns to cope with it
After all, your energy is something that had her fall in love with you to begin with
Still, she would often try to cuddle you
Luckily you get to sleep in the same room, so she usually keeps cuddling reserved for bedtime
Though most nights you stay up later than her, always trying to use up all your energy for the day before turning in for the night
Once you’re ready to sleep, you know she’ll always be there to cuddle each other to sleep
“Silly y/n...you’ve worn yourself out, huh? Come here...let me cuddle you to sleep.”
Usopp:
Honestly...you exhaust him sometimes
You’re more energetic than he is, but he tries to match your energy which leaves him exhausted
It’s nothing against you, he just needs a break sometimes
He likes to play with the others on the crew, but he has his limits
Once he starts getting to exhausted he breaks away for a nap
If you wanted to nap with him...that’d be nice
But he knows you might not be ready to take a nap when he is
He knows chances are, no matter how long his nap is, you’ll be back to playing with the crew when he wakes up
And then starts the whole process again
He likes to fish as well, but oftentimes you have too much energy for it
You like to tell jokes, and Usopp will always laugh at them
“Haha, that was a really good one y/n! Now how do you like THIS one?”
Will swap jokes with you for days
His arsenal of jokes never seems to run out, so you better have a lot prepared
Sanji:
He adores that you’re so energetic
Intelligence doesn’t matter to him, he’ll flirt with any girl so at first you had no idea he had feelings for you
You can be rather oblivious...so you didn’t notice when he stopped flirting with Nami and Robin
They pointed it out to you
That’s when he confessed
He would love if you would help him cook, he thinks it will be a good outlet for your energy
And besides, you both loved spending time with each other
Why not while doing something you both can enjoy?
He can be energetic, but much less so than you or Luffy
Your jokes always make him laugh
“Y/n-swan, that was hilarious! You’re so good at making people laugh. I really enjoy that about you.”
He will pout if he wants to cuddle but you can’t sit still, but he understands you need to get that energy out first
He’ll take up sitting and watching you play on the deck
He won’t participate unless you asked him veeeeery sweetly
When he does play with you guys...he gives it his all
But he always...always lets you win
Chopper:
He plays off your energy...and you play off his
Creating an endless circle of hype
He loves that you’ll play games with him, Usopp, and Luffy
You bond as friends that way
Sometimes you’ll play teams, Luffy always gets Usopp and you have Chopper
It’s an unspoken agreement
Though if you and Chopper win too much...the other two will accuse you of cheating
Somehow
He hops around in excitement when you begin to play
Equally...you hop around seeing him hop around
You always sit next to each other a dinner
While you’re all nakama...you’re his best friend, and he’s yours
While playing hide and seek, you find Chopper first
Always seeming to know where he’ll be
You find him under a gurney in his office, and you find him asleep
Seems like he was really tired after all
You smile and pick him up, taking him to his room
“I’ll always protect you, Chopper.”
He mumbles softly in his sleep “I’ll always protect you...I love you y/n”
“I love you too buddy.”
Robin:
Opposites attract much?
Where you come across as dumb...she radiates an air of intellect
Where you’re always bouncing with energy...she’s calm and collected
She didn’t believe in opposites attract until she met you
You contrast each other well, and she adores getting to see you play with her crew, the people that mean the most to her in the world
You become part of that, becoming someone special to her heart
She knows very early on that she’s developing feelings for you
She’s not only booksmart...but emotionally intelligent as well
It might catch you off guard when she confesses, but when you reply with a smile and affirmation that the feelings were returned she gives you the biggest smile you’ve ever seen on her
She enjoys watching you play with her crew
Though she would never join in, content to watch from the sidelines
She honestly likes that you aren’t knowledgeable about some of her favorite topics
It means she gets to teach it to you
She’ll sit down with you, books in hand
If you expressed not wanting to learn, she wouldn’t push it
However it makes her happy to teach you, even if you are pretty slow to learn
Franky:
Oh boy...oooooh boy
He returns your energy 10 fold
He’ll start by telling you jokes, and you return with your own
Overall some of the jokes are...terrible
But you both laugh until you cry
It’s good to have a connection like yours
He doesn’t care if you’re smart or not, he just enjoys spending time with you
You’ll find him either repairing the ship, or inventing something new
You’re always his tester
“Hey look y/n! I made something new, care to try it out with me?”
It ranges from new weapons for the crew to new games he made on the fly
He loves to spend time with you, it’s always filled with laughter and smiles
Every once in a while you’ll convince him to take a break to play with the crew
He gives it his all, and shows no mercy
Despite the fact that he loves you
It makes you laugh knowing you never have to worry about him holding back
Brook:
He can’t match your energy. He just can’t
He’ll often find himself watching you play while sitting with Nami and Robin
He’ll play music to set the mood when you play, knowing a wide variety of songs
Some are upbeat, some are intense
He’s become your designated mood-setter
Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper LOVE this
It makes the games you play even more fun!
He also likes to play you quiet songs to help you fall asleep
He loves that he can express himself to you via music
“Oh y/n, I love watching you play with my own eyes! Ah! I have no eyes! Ahaha.”
He likes to teach you songs on his violin, and doesn’t care if it takes you a while to learn them
He had plenty of time to practice on his old ship, so he knows how much work you need to put in to master a craft
Quite frankly...he lost count of how many hours he spent on that ship
But it was...a lot
Many years he worked
He plans to spend the rest of his undead life with you, so in his eyes he doesn’t mind spending hours upon hours teaching you
It’s something he loves, so he enjoys that he gets to spend time practicing with you

Hi! I hope you dont mind if I request this and if you reached the limit fill free to ignore this! Could I please have another angst one? With Zoro? A Zoro x Fem! Demon! Reader with a number 9 on the angst list, “Please, don’t make this worse than it already is.”
I don’t mind at all, I’m happy to do plenty of requests. I only wish I could do all the requests, but sadly I figured I cut it off at 20 for this event since it’s my first one. Think I might have 21 by accident though due to a miscount 🤫… oh well, maybe next time I’ll keep better track or just not care how many requests I do. Also, I decided to do something a little bit different with this piece.
Watching over your darling ward, you smiled. It was hard not to fall in love with him. Despite appearances he was a surprising young man. Kind, sweet, loyal, caring, protective, surprisingly charming, determined, strong, there was a lot more to Zoro than a seemingly gruff green-haired swordsman. Likewise, there was a lot Zoro loved about you despite being a literal demon. You worried over him, even if the wound wasn’t too serious, your smile lit up a room almost as much as Luffy’s, you were kind and giving, doing your best to help people even when they couldn’t see you, your love for the crew, especially. Even Sanji was on the receiving end from time to time, your wings shielding him from the rain or checking to make sure his wounds weren’t bothering him. Zoro may not like the blond, but the fact that you were so willing to look out for his nakama, even the shitty cook, meant a lot to him. 
“Y/n?” Zoro called, drawing your attention away from chatting with Nami and Robin. A slightly concerned look crossed your features, while not necessarily a man of habit, he was usually napping right about now unless something was wrong or he needed something. You were by his side in a few short strides, head tilted to the side, looking like a surprisingly adorable demonic puppy. 
“What’s wrong? Need anything?” you asked, making the man smirk. 
“Nothing’s wrong, I was just hoping to talk to you in private.” Zoro explained as he stood up. This was important, he needed to tell you this now, it was now or never. The two of you moved to the back of the ship, looking out over the water, hidden from the eyesight of those on the main deck. 
“Y/n, do you mind if I confess something?” Zoro asked, turning and leaning back against the railing, elbows resting on the wood as he looked over at you. You couldn’t help but stiffen slightly, he had something he wanted to confess? Swallowing nervously, you nodded, allowing him to continue. Zoro smiled before looking away, staring up at the sky for a moment.
“I won’t drag this on like ero-cook would, but I’m not going to hesitate or waffle back and forth with this, I’m…” Zoro took a deep breath, closing his eye before opening it back up and looking back at you, you were so beautiful, standing there, the sea air blowing your locks around, “Y/n… I love you.” Zoro said, staring into your eyes as they widened. Taking a few steps back, you shook your head, fear filling every fiber of your being.
“No… no, no, no, no, no, no. Don’t say that, take it back! Take it back and tell me you don’t love me!” you demanded, tears quickly flowing down your cheeks, Zoro looking at you in shock. He’d just told you he loved you, a thing that was supposed to make a girl happy. Robin, Nami, Usopp, Franky, Brook, hell, even Sanji had reassured him that you loved him back, so why were you acting like this?
“Y/n? What’s wrong? What do you mean ‘take it back’?” Zoro asked, watching as you glanced up at the sky, trying desperately to stop the tears. 
“J-just take it back! Please! Hurry and take it back!” you pleaded, looking around frantically. The worried look on Zoro’s face hardened slightly, he didn’t know why you were acting like this, but he wouldn’t take it back.
“I refuse. I love you, nothing will change that… the others told me you love me too, were they wrong?” Zoro asked. Tears fell down faster, you knew there was no stopping it now, already you could feel the change in the sea breeze.
“N-no, they weren’t wrong.” you sobbed, wrapping your arms around yourself, “I love you, Zoro, I love you so much.” a loud thundering boom carried for miles in all directions, making you flinch as Zoro looked up at the sky. As soon as a few figures appeared, seemingly followed by a dark cloud, Zoro’s swords were out.
“Zoro, stop!” you said, putting a hand on one arm, stopping him from putting the sword in his mouth. The green-haired man looked at you in confusion, why were you crying and panicking? Why had you stopped him? And who were those people? A couple minutes later, a group of 5 demons landed on the ship, drawing the attention of the rest of the crew, your friends standing, ready to fight on your behalf.
“Y/n, you’ve broken the laws of hell, what do you have to say for yourself?” one of the demons demanded, a stern look on his face, surprising the others. Wiping away the tears as best you could, you stood up straight, attempting to look stronger than you felt.
“There’s nothing wrong with giving yourself to love and the fact that we have laws against it is a travesty.” you said, hoping that your voice wasn’t shaking. Realization dawned on Zoro as he watched things unfold. He’d told you he loved you, you’d started panicking because you knew what was about to happen, especially if you admitted your love for him.
“Hey! I’m the one who broke your stupid laws, Y/n didn’t do anything wrong, you’re trying to punish her for no reason.” Zoro argued, moving to stand in front of you.
“You dare to stand in my way, mortal?” the demon demanded, holding his hand out, palm facing Zoro.
“Stop! Please, don’t! I’ll comply!” you shouted, shoving Zoro behind you, arms and wings outstretched in an attempt to protect him like you’d always done.
“Zoro, I’m so sorry but please, don’t make this worse than it already is.” you pleaded, making the man hesitate.
“Just tell me one thing, Y/n.” Zoro requested, staring into your sad yet beautiful eyes. You nodded, not bothering to hold the tears back anymore, “What’s going to happen to you?” you swallowed, the punishment for breaking the rules was… harsh. It ensured that despite your demonic, mischievous nature, the rules wouldn’t be broken.
“It’s best if you don’t know. Some things… they’re not meant for mortals to understand.” you said, turning around and staring into his unscared eye, “but no matter what happens to me, I’ll always love you.” you said, caressing his cheek before pressing your lips against his in a sweet kiss. The moment was too short as you pulled away before walking backwards to stand with the other demons. Almost immediately, two of them grabbed you, the group taking into the sky with you in tow. Zoro might not ever see you on the physical plane ever again, but you’d never leave his dreams or his heart.

Hello!! Can I please have Sanji x fem reader for nfsw, prompt 2 or if it is already taken could it be with fluff, prompt 3?
Thank you in advance <3
No worries and please enjoy <3
Sanji x GN reader [I couldn't fit in pronouns oof] SFW Word Count: 373
Tumblr media
The crew was just growing bigger and bigger, it wasn’t like you’d become a huge crew, but it was still ten other people to watch over, ten other people to cook for and to clean up after. Luffy ate more then one person so really it was more like fifteen people at mealtimes.
You wished your boyfriend was consider more selfcare, he spent ages in the kitchen, always with a smile on his face, truly in his element, preparing things for his loved ones, his nakama, it warmed his heart and gave him such a purpose.
That didn’t mean Sanji was aware when he was over doing things, when he was neglecting himself. The number of times you had to make him sit and eat and stop fussing over the girls. You sighed and stared out over the ocean, you could hear the plates clinking in the sink, no matter how many times you offered to help him he would refuse, he would fight you on it.
Giving up but still not happy about it you’d simply wait outside in the late afternoon air, watching the sun sink slowly. Blinking, wishing he was here by your side. You gripped the railings, a determined look on your face, barging into the back door of the kitchen the blond stared at you, curly brow raised.
“Wanna go watch the sunset?” the hopefulness in your tone hadn’t been missed by the chef, the way you held yourself, standing in the doorway with an expression on your face that said you wouldn’t be told no.
He chuckled and nodded, finishing the plate in his hand before drying his hands on a towel. He walked to where you stood, leaning down and kissing your cheek. Taking your hand, he pulled you towards the railings.
“I needed this, thanks” Sanji smiled warmly as he pulled out a cigarette, lighting it up, taking a well-earned drag before exhaling the smoke into the air, it seemed almost pretty against the golden hue the sky was giving off.
He looked handsome framed in this light, smiling yourself you leaned against him, glad when he wrapped his free arm around you, watching the sunset work its magic turning the day into the night.

pairing: Zoro x Drunk!Reader
word count: 1.9k
summary: The Straw hats are presented with millenary rum from an Ancient Giant Tribe and, well, no one is giving you that anymore. 
higlight:  ¨And then you said ¨maybe I should wear your underwear.¨
warning: Don´t read and drive. 
notes: HOLD MY BEER! Hi, guys! This was a lovely request from @roronoatrash for a drunk s/o! I have to say this is my first time writing a drunk character so I´m a bit nervous hahaha I really really hope you like it! Have fun and drink responsibly! <3 @vemuabhi​
Tumblr media
𝕷𝖊𝖆𝖛𝖊 𝖈𝖔𝖒𝖒𝖊𝖓𝖙𝖘, 𝖗𝖊𝖖𝖚𝖊𝖘𝖙𝖘, 𝖆𝖓𝖉 𝖑𝖔𝖛𝖊!
Tumblr media
¨Agh!¨ you mumbled when you tried to lift your head from the pillow. It felt like the Thousand Sunny had run over you a thousand times. 
¨Hm?¨
¨Regret ... mhbeh ... thing...¨ your mouth was so dry that talking became almost impossible.  
¨What´s that?¨ Zoro asked, definitely amused by your deplorable state.
¨Hmmm... I don´t... regret... anything.¨
¨Of course you don´t. You don´t remember anything.¨ he shifted on the bed, making it look like a black hole was opening in the mattress. ¨Here, take this.¨ He handed you something.
¨I don´t need your pity... ma-marimo.¨
¨This is not pity, Y/N. This is a painkiller. Come on, you´re gonna feel better.¨
When he helped you to sit on the bed, you noticed something stuck to the window, preventing the sun from entering and blinding you. The greenette removed a few locks of hair that laid plastered across your face before helping you with the herculean task of taking the pill.  
¨If the stupid cook is not dead he must have made coffee.¨ he stood up, grabbing your slippers and placing them in front of you. 
In the meantime, your mind tried to gather whatever useful information you had to understand what had happened, but everything was a void blank. 
¨You ok?¨ he asked, hand on the doorknob. ¨Do you want me to bring it to you?¨
¨No, it´s ok...¨ you pinched the bridge of your nose, making one last effort to remember at least a crumb of the previous hours. You were fast to give up, though. ¨What happened?¨ 
¨Uhhh, you got drunk and passed out.¨ he said like it was no big deal. 
¨Hmm, ok...¨ you took a few seconds to digest his words ¨but when you say ´you´ you mean ´you me´ or ´you guys´?¨
A chuckle left his mouth ¨Come and you´ll see.¨ 
The sun shone high in the sky, forcing you to wince back into your room like the time you had your shadow stolen. You stumbled and lowered yourself to the floor, crawling away from the light. 
¨You go!¨ you said dramatically, covering your eyes ¨Run away and leave me! Tell everyone... that I fought until the last moment!¨
Zoro scoffed at your poorly performed scene, walking closer to you and squatting, back turned to you. ¨Hop, soldier. We don´t leave nakamas behind, right?¨
Your cheeks reddened with his gesture, and you hid your hungover smitten smile on the crook of his neck. ¨Hold tight, Y//N.¨
Oh, I will. Ouch, my head!
As soon as you reached the main deck, your eyes widened, ignoring the bright sun, and your mouth fell in a perfect O. 
¨Oh my freaking... what happened here?¨
If it weren't for the countless barrels, you would have easily thought that you had been chewed up by a sea king. 
The Straw Hats were scattered across the deck, mixed with garbage, blankets, and rolls of toilet paper. Their unorthodox positions would definitely grant them a stiff neck.
Zoro carried you to the kitchen where you found Usopp and Chopper talking at the kitchen table.
¨... like I fasted in a desert for forty nights, and then I survived... a buster call. And like... all of the battleships were pointed at me. And I was catching fire before that.¨ you heard Usopp whine to the doctor, who wrapped some bandages on him. 
¨Oi, who made coffee?¨ Zoro asked purposely loud.
¨SHHHH!¨ you and the sniper hissed at him.
¨Sanji did.¨ Chopper answered ¨Oh, Y/N, how are you feeling?¨
¨Like my heart is beating in my head.¨
¨At least there´s a heartbeat.¨ the swordsman replied, putting you close to a chair so you could take a seat. ¨Hm, Chopper, I saw the cook dead outside.¨
¨Yeah, he made coffee and then passed out again.¨ Chopper discreetly pointed at Usopp´s bandages. 
¨He passed out and spilled hot coffee on me!¨ he roared, stopping midway to whine. 
¨But you two look pretty good, though.¨ You referred to Chopper and Zoro. 
Not Usopp, definitely not Usopp. 
¨Night watch. I didn´t drink last night.¨ the doctor sighed, relieved. 
¨And I can handle my alcohol.¨ the greenette bragged, placing a steaming cup of coffee in front of you. 
¨What happened anyway?¨ 
¨Oh! You don´t remember too, Y/N? That millenary rum was really strong!¨ Chopper asked, fascinated by the effects of the beverage. 
¨Millenary rum?¨ 
¨Yeah! It was a gift from an Ancient Giant Tribe!¨ 
¨Giant tribe?¨ you kept repeating every word he said, double-checking to see if you were not hearing things. 
¨Y/N, what´s the last thing you remember?¨
¨Hmm, let me see...¨ you rested your elbows on the table, hands covering your eyes. Wow, even thinking hurts.
                                                <~>
¨I swear to God, Tony! When Luffy falls into the water, you can not jump after him!¨ you yelled, panting from climbing back to the ship and soaking wet of salty water. 
He pouted and whined. You only called him ��Tony¨ when you were upset with him. 
¨So-Sorry Y/N... AaaAgh...¨ his voice trembled, and you couldn´t help but soften a little. 
¨Ugh, forget it.¨ you laid down on the grass and sighed, the reindeer on your belly ¨Are you alright, Chopper?¨
¨Y-Yeah...¨
Zoro emerged a few seconds later, carrying Luffy on his shoulder. 
You had engaged in a fight against some bandits who were causing trouble on an island called Gran Brabados. From what you could understand, they were descendants of the Ancient Giant Tribe who emancipated from Elbaf after years of conflict. 
¨I don´t wanna be rude, but¨ Usopp spoke to one of them ¨I thought giants were warriors. Like Broggy and Dory. Those guys fought for over 100 years!¨
¨Well, most of us are, but some are not. That's why we left Elbaf.¨ the giant said ¨We're not interested in war, we're interested in rum!¨
All of you stopped for a second, wondering if you heard the same thing.
¨Eh?¨ you spoke.
¨We don´t make war! We make rum!¨ he threw his huge hands in the air, chest puffing out of pride.
¨Oi, really? Give us some!¨ Zoro immediately threw Luffy on the floor and ran towards the giant. Next thing you knew, the giant burst into laughter. 
¨Gabababa!¨ he hunched as he laughed ¨Sorry, but tiny people like you can't handle it! Gababababa!¨
You were not sure what offended you the most, he calling you all, who just saved their asses, weak or having to dodge the huge drops of saliva that came out of his mouth. 
After insisting a lot, he ended up giving in, presenting the straw hats with barrels and barrels of millenary rum. Yeah, millenary. Rum distilled for one thousand years, or at least that is what he said. 
The celebration didn´t take long to begin. Because Luffy had decided to set sail that same day, you would all be bathed with a pleasant sunset as you partied.
¨Wow!¨ you shouted after chugging the first tankard. ¨Oooohh, this is good booze!¨ you shook your head, already feeling the kick. 
¨Girl, you should go easy on this. It´s super strong.¨ Franky said, making you scoff at him, possessed by some waspish Viking demon.
¨And here I thought you were hard-boiled.¨ 
¨What?¨ 
¨O-Oi, Y/N...¨ Usopp said, worried, sipping his drink. 
¨Haven´t you learned anything with Tom-san?¨ you clicked your tongue ¨Meh, I guess I´ll be the one making things with a DON around here!¨ you chugged more of the rum. 
The shipwright glared at you with a red beam coming out of his left eye. You remember questioning yourself for a second. Maybe you had said too much, but it was just for a brief second before you insulted someone else. 
Back at the kitchen table, flashes of the events from the last night began to pop in your mind. Guilt and embarrassment gushed over you, making you twist and cringe. 
¨And then you said ¨maybe I should wear your underwear.¨ Chopper shivered as he quoted your words.
¨Nooo...¨ you cried out.
¨It gets worse, Y/N.¨
¨What?! How?!¨
¨Because after that,¨ Zoro started to speak, and you saw him struggle to stop a smile from cracking. That was not a good sign. ¨you said "your balls are so small Robin could have grabbed them with one hand!¨ 
The men laughed and slapped the table as you looked for a place to bury your head or a knife to stab yourself in the heart. 
¨WHY DIDN´T YOU STOP ME?¨ you yelled, pulling your boyfriend by the collar and shaking him. 
He placed a hand on your forehead, a silly thing he did every time you got too nervous. ¨Oi, you´re a big girl. You know what you´re doing.¨ 
¨Noo, obviously I don´t!¨ He smiled. 
He would not be the one to tell you, but he did have to stop Franky from Radical Beam-ing the hell out of you several times. For some reason, you were very keen on insulting the cyborg's masculinity. 
Another thing he wouldn´t tell you was that he didn´t touch the rum in the last night. He decided to remain sober and look after you, making sure you would not kill someone or get yourself killed. 
However, despite all the trouble you gave him, he recognized your strength. Straw hat after straw hat, you managed to defeat everyone in a stupid drinking contest. 
The biggest achievement was to drag Luffy into the game since he dislikes the taste of alcohol. When he denied being part of it, you teased him by saying,¨I think you are just scared, Luffy. You know what, maybe I should be the Captain of this ship! Maybe, I will be the Pirate King!¨
That was about the sixth punch Zoro took for you. Or because of you. 
The darker the night fell, the wilder you all got. And then insults began to come from every direction to every direction. You were arguing, then laughing, then crying and apologizing. If it wasn´t for Zoro, Chopper would have had a heart attack. 
¨Nami, you thief! Give me back my queen, or I´ll be forced to shoot a Bidori Moshi at you!¨ Usopp yelled, holding a bunch of cards in his hands. 
¨Oi, Usopp! How dare you speak with a lady like that?! I´ll kick you in the face!¨
¨Bring it on, Sanji! I eat eggplants like you for breakfast every day! AND IT´S GOD USOPP FOR YOU!¨
¨Zoro...¨ Chopper cried, falling close to where the swordsman was sitting. ¨W-What are we going to do?¨
¨Uh? Ah, sit back and relax. You know these guys, they are ju-¨
¨Y/N-san, may I see your panties?¨
¨Well, too bad for you I´m not weari-¨
¨OI! Y/N!¨ Zoro dashed over, throwing you on his shoulder. 
That was about the first punch Brook took for you. Or, again, because of you. 
And then, as the number of biological hazards began to decline, managing the situation became easier and easier. Chopper took care of the fallen drunken, and Zoro threw blankets over them.
In the end, it was you and Luffy. You were still arguing about the things you said earlier. Both of you were exhausted but didn´t want to give in. The argument only ended when you withdrew your words, saying that he would be the one to become King of the Pirates.
Luffy fell dead asleep immediately, and Zoro took the cue to approach you. ¨Hey, Y/N. Our time, let´s go?¨
You turned to him and nodded, red cheeks and tired eyes. He had to scoop you up and carry you back to your room since your legs were not part of the equation anymore, and you would let go and fall every time he tried to carry you on his back. 
¨Heeey, you´re not drunk!¨ you whined, almost falling asleep. ¨Why aren´t you drunk?¨
¨Cause you drank everything.¨
¨Noo, I can find s´more.¨ you uncovered yourself, trying to get out of bed.
¨I bet you can.¨ he said, covering you again and pulling you closer.
The warmth of his body, altogether with his hand gently rubbing your back, made your system shut down. 
¨You know... I can kick your ass... in a drinking contest...¨
¨Yeah,¨ he chuckled ¨I bet you can.¨
That was definitely not true, but for you, well, for you he could pretend it was.

Now that I've had time to Absorb mentally. Several things.
-Luffy going from overeating to swearing off eating entirely. Homie that CANNOT be good for you. And the fact that he's willing to not eat unless it's Sanji's food...that's so. INCREDIBLY significant. Bc it's been very clearly established how much Luffy LOVES food. His stomach is literally a black hole. Eating gives him strength and makes him happy. He enjoys food so much he steals it off other people's plates. He's so impatient when it comes to meals that he'll sneak into the kitchen to try and mooch before it's ready. And now he's refusing all that...for Sanji. He's going to sit there and starve himself, even though he doesn't like being hungry, even though food is one of the most important things to him, even though he has a CHOICE to eat and he CAN eat but he's not going to because it's not food Sanji made for him. The fact that food is such a central part of Luffy's character and who he is, and that we know he never does anything he doesn't want to do, it just makes me. GODDD. Why is he like this why are they like this I'm insane
-THE FACT THAT THEY LITERALLY DID THE MONTAGE OF ALL THEIR MEMORIES TOGETHER. JESUS CHRIST. That was a low blow. And also the gayest shit I've ever seen. Yeah let's just drive it in even further how important these two are to each other and how much it's tearing them both apart that Sanji's leaving by showing all their wonderful moments together. I was literally full on SOBBING at this point. Fucking RUDE smh
-Sanji being SO self sacrificial makes me want to cry I CANNOT with him rn,, It's to the point where he feels like he can't even rely on his nakama because he just wants to protect them. Like he could have easily told them what was going on. But he decided he'd chase them away, for their own safety, because Zeff's already in danger and Sanji can't risk losing his crew too. He couldn't bear to see any of them get hurt by the family that's been tormenting him for years. So he hurts HIMSELF by pushing them away. He loves them so so much that he's willing to cut ties with them completely and make them hate him so that they'll stay SAFE. GOD. Except Luffy sees right through that act bc he knows Sanji too well 😭 The fact that even Nami didn't realize that Sanji was just trying to protect them makes me so emo she really did think he'd been lying to them all along...GIRL have more faith in your nakama!!
-Luffy refusing to give up on Sanji, not ever, I'm going to explode, that is HIS nakama HIS cook and he won't stop until he can bring him home. BASHING my head against the wall
-Also I already talked about The Line in my last post but here I'll share my tags
Tumblr media
I need to be put down I think I am so unwell rn

hi! i love your stuff so very much!!
can i request the angst alphabet with zoro?
thank uuuuu ❤️
Tumblr media
Angst Alphabet - Roronoa Zoro
Tumblr media
a/n: hiya!!! thank y’all so much!!<3 hope you enjoy this 😌
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A-Accident (would they blame themselves if you died in an accident?)
He may not blame himself entirely if you were to die in an accident. But Zoro would think himself weak. How could he possibly become the words greatest swordsman if he can’t even protect his s/o.
B-Break up (How would they break up with you?)
Before breaking up with you Zoro would start to distance himself a little to try and make it easier on the both of you for when he does break up with you. Other than that, he is likely to just come right out and say exactly what he wants to say. He’s brutally honest and straightforward so he won’t try to sugar coat anything or beat around the bush.
C-Crying (how would they make you cry?)
Zoro does this horrible thing where he likes to overwork himself to the point of exhaustion. No matter how many times you tell him to stop and express your concerns for his health, he just doesn’t listen. It hurts seeing the man you love more than anything exhausting himself.
D-Death (how would they react to your death?)
Speaking of overworking, after your death he works himself harder than he ever has before. Day in, day out he’s training. He trains every possible minute to distract himself from your death and make himself stronger to ensure he never loses a loved one ever again.
E-Emotion (what is one emotion they would try to hide the most and how would they do it?)
Being openly vulnerable is something Zoro doesn’t like to do. He really only shows his vulnerable side with his s/o and even then, it took him a really long time to do it.
F-Fight (do you two ever fight? How big are the fights? What do you fight about? Etc.)
Very rarely do your fights get serious. Your fights are often just light-hearted teases and jokes towards one another. Where its always followed by laughter or eye rolls.
If your fight was to get serious, it would result in a lot of yelling at one another and with Zoros blunt personality, a lot of hurtful words (which he ALWAYS apologizes for in the end).
G-Guilt (what is the biggest thing they feel guilty about?)
The events of Sabaody weigh heavily on Zoro’s mind. He was the first one to get sent away by Kuma, so feels as though he failed not only his captain, but the whole crew as well. He wasn’t there to protect them, to help them. Instead, he was a complete failure. And, because of his weakness his captain had to fight and suffer alone.
H-Heartbreak (what would cause them pain in the relationship? How would they deal during a break-up?)
During a break-up Zoro does what he would in any other situation: workout. He keeps himself occupied by working out, and actually he drinks a little bit more than usual too. It could even get to the point where the rest of the crew feels as though they need to step in.
I-Injured (how would they react if you are badly injured?).
He turns dark. Basically, a demon in human form. Moves you from wherever you are so that you’re out of the way of more danger AND THEN HE TIES HIS BANDANA ROUND HIS HEAD BECAUSE THIS SHIT IS SERIOUS.
J-Jealousy (what do they do if they are jealous?)
Its ridiculously obvious when this swordsman is jealous. He gets super grumpy and tries to intimidate the other person. He’ll stand right behind you and honestly, that’s intimidating enough on its own. But, if the other person doesn’t get the hint he’ll place his hand, ever so casually, on his swords.
K-Kill (would they kill for revenge?)
Ever since joining the Straw Hats, Zoro doesn’t kill others (its not something Luffy wants his nakama to do, so Zoro doesn’t do it). However, that mindset goes straight out the window depending on who he’s taking revenge for (i.e if it’s for his s/o).
Most of the time Zoro just leaves them wishing they were dead. (this seems to be a common thing amongst One Piece characters).
L-Loss (what is their greatest loss?)
I would actually say losing some of his pride. Zoro is a poud man, who refuses to lower his head to anyone. However, after receiving the message from Luffy to train and meet up again in two years, Zoro knew he had to lower his and beg Mihawk for his guidance. It was definitely a hit on his pride, but, honestly… He doesn’t regret that one bit – anything for his captain.
M-Mistake (what is the worst mistake they ever made with you?).
During one of the few big fights you guys have had things got really heated and the fight ended up getting so off topic. Insults and mean words were being thrown out left and right. Zoro got so caught up in it all that he said something that targeted one of your deepest insecurities. He knew he had screwed up so badly when you walked away without even saying anything.
N-Nightmares (how often do they have them? What are they about? How do they deal with it?).
He doesn’t often get nightmares, but when he does they tend to be about Sabaody and when the crew got separated from one another (or really any other incident where he was unable to help properly). After he wakes up, he gets straight out of bed and starts working out – determined to make sure nothing like that ever happens again.
O-Outrage (how and why would they get mad at you?)
Zoro doesn’t get mad at you for much, mainly if you pay any attention to that shitty cook, like seriously, he doesn’t understand why you have to give Sanji any attention when Zoro is literally your boyfriend….
P-Past (what has happened in your relationship that changed the way you saw each other?)
Even though you never found out exactly what happened on Thriller Bark (its something Zoro refuses to tell even you), it made you realize that you need to step up and not rely on Zoro so much because although he may act like it, he’s not actually indestructible.
Q-Quality (what is their most dangerous/toxic quality?).
(SORRY I FEEL LIKE I’M BEING VERY REPETITIVE HERE AH BUT YEAH…) He never allows himself to heal from an injury properly. He always starts training immediately despite Chopper’s best attempts to stop him.
R-Rejection (how would they react to you rejecting their confession (or the other way around)).
If you were to reject his confession, he’d probably try to justify it to himself by saying “yeah actually it’s probably better this way. I don’t need anymore distractions in life.” But, he would definitely be a little down in the dumps about it. He made himself vulnerable for this and it didn’t work the way he wanted.
S-Scars (battle or self-inflicted)
Zoro has many scars. The scar over his left eye was a result of his two years of training with Mihawk, though no one knows the exact cause of it – only that it appeared during those two years. Zoro also has a scar on his chest from his very first encounter with Mihawk. He may also have scars on his ankles from the time he tried to chop of his own legs on Little Garden (I can’t recall if these are actually scars or if they healed completely).
T-Trust (have they ever broken your trust?).
This answer is short and sweet: No. Never. Not even in his wildest of dreams. Loyalty is basically Zoro’s entire character. He would never violate your trust. If he did… well Zoro, wouldn’t be Zoro anymore. (only thing he’s done that comes close is keep you from finding out what really happened to him on Thriller Bark).
U-Urge (how badly do they want to see you after you guys separated?)
Honestly, he is probably one of the few who are able to cope with missing you the longest. He still wants to see you of course – your presence is reassuring, so he definitely prefers when you are around – but he can handle not seeing you for a while by focusing on the task at hand and just remembering that this separation isn’t permanent.
V-Vicious (what do they do when they lash out on you?).
Similar to what I’ve said before, he says some really harsh things. He has always been blunt and straightforward, but when he’s lashing out at you he tends to make things a little more personal.
W-Weak (what makes them feel weak how do they try to avoid it?).
Zoro hates losing. Not because he’s competitive or anything but because losing makes him feel weak. Whenever he loses he feels so far away from his goal. To make up for this he works out. He trains and trains and trains until he can no longer move. He will keep going until he never loses another fight.
X-X-ray (what do they hate and show it most obviously?)
Obviously, he shows his hate of Sanji very frequently. The two pirates are constantly arguing and at one anothers throat.
But another thing he hates is people getting in the way of his dream. He agreed to join Luffy so long as he didn’t get in the way of his dream – and if luffy were to get in the way Zoro made him promise to commit seppuku (although whether or not I think Zoro would actually make him do that anymore is a different thing that I could go on about for a while so imma stop there…).
Y-Yearn (what is one thing that they want but can’t have?)
Zoro wants to be the world’s greatest/strongest swordsman. It’s not currently a title he can have, however, day-by-day he is getting just that much closer.
Z-Zero (what do they do/say in your dying moments?)
I don’t think a lot is said or done by Zoro in your final moments. He probably whispers a few thank you’s and I’m sorry’s. He won’t mourn properly until he’s completely alone.

HELLO! I just read your post and they're so fantastic and beautiful😍 If you don't mind make a headcanons for Law, Ace, Kidd and Monster Trio Ideal Girlfriend? If you only don't mind... THANK YOU and GODBLESS!!!🥰🥰🥰
Ideal Fem! S/O For Monster Trio + Law, Ace, Kid - HCs
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A/N : this is super cute, this might be short so I hope it’s okay, and thank you! 🥰🤍 enjoy!
Summary : Headcannons for these One Piece Boys and their ideal girlfriend.
Luffy
Definitely someone adventurous. Luffy loves to go out and explore new things, to go on adventures and enjoy the experience, so he’d want someone who loves to be outgoing as him.
You’ll have to be strong. Not crazy strong like the monster trio, but be able to handle and take care of yourself while he’s busy. Of course, Luffy will always protect you, but he doesn’t want to see you get hurt. He won’t be able to stop that if he doesn’t get there on time, so someone who can fend for themselves for even a little bit is nice.
Fearless and bravery is always a plus. He loves people who have no hesitation nor doubts to go through with something, since Luffy tends to go into battle without thought.
Fearless and bravery is always a plus. He loves people who have no hesitation nor doubts to go through with something, since Luffy tends to go into battle without thought.
Share his excitement and joy for childish things, but please be more mature than him. A relationship with two Luffy’s would never get anywhere, considering how stubborn and reckless Luffy can be, so someone who can be serious when time calls for it is preferred.
Love his brothers, please. If you don’t respect his brothers or get along with them, he might not really be too interested in you. And his crew. If you don’t appreciate his crew and hate on them, he won’t hesitate to kick you off the ship. That’s how much he loves and cares for his brothers and nakama.
-
Sanji
Like Ace, Someone who truly cares about him and understands the real him. Someone who knows of his flaws and his personality but still love him for him.
Love food, never waste it. And if you ever cook or want to cook, he’ll be so happy and excited to share tips or teach you, he loves you so much.
You’ll have to understand his tendency to love all women. He grew up to respect women so he’ll treat all women lovingly and dearly, like glass. He’ll treat you with special affection, yes, but that won’t stop him from caring for the other women he meets, but he will try to not go overboard.
Heartfelt and deep conversations about each other’s pasts and sweet memories. He loves this time because he can be close with you and spend time, whilst learning about you and hearing you talk for hours and your sweet voice is music to his ears.
You’ll have to love and be okay with how affectionate he is. It might be overbearing or a little too much, and he’ll try to tone it down, but understand that he loves you and he never would have imagined he’s actually dating someone, y’know? He’s a romantic but he IS inexperienced for a bit.
-
Zoro
Someone who’s strong, of course. He’ll want to be reassured you can handle yourself and he won’t need to be there 24/7, because he won’t always be available. But will definitely risk his life for you, just like Luffy. Luffy’s more important though-
Zoro focused on training and following Luffy, so if you support him, he’ll love you. Don’t try to stop him from pursuing his dream nor from being by Luffy’s side. He’ll be cold-hearted in seconds.
Zoro does forget many things though, so having you there to remind him to eat and remember to rest and not overwork himself too much is always appreciated, he feels loved.
As much as he complains about Luffy being stubborn, I believe he actually likes that aspect. Stubbornness can be a cute trait.
As long as it’s not too annoying, he thinks it’s cute when you get all pouty, stubborn or annoyed at him, or tend to get violent to him when he teases you.
-
Ace
Someone who truly loves him, even knowing true identity and all of his personal flaws and weaknesses.
Someone who gets along with his brothers for sure, and understand that Ace will never stop loving his brothers. They will come before you, it’s a fact.
If you join the Whitebeard Pirates, he’ll be glad in knowing that he can protect you better and even have his brothers to support him and help him to protect you at all costs.
He prefers someone small and adorable, who can give cute reactions when he teases or flirts with them, and even better if you try to flirt back, whether you fail or not.
He loves someone who can share deep conversations with and stay up all night talking about anything and never be bored. He loves jokes too, so making each other smile is much preferred.
-
Law
Someone who’s extremely calm and collected in serious situations.
He needs a level-headed significant other who can keep him relaxed because lord knows how stressed this boy can get.
Someone who can understand his need for peace and personal space, whilst give him the touch-starved love he wants and needs, even if he doesn’t say it aloud.
Law is often busy so he does forget to eat and sleep every once in a while, so a nice reminder for him, someone who cares quietly by leaving him snacks or offering small massages to relieve his tense muscles.
Doing the little things for him without him even asking can get his heart beat going and he’ll fall in love with you slowly but surely.
-
Kid
Someone who’s bad ass as fuck. A bad chick who’s strong as hell and isn’t afraid to show off their skills and properly represent what it means to be a pirate.
He likes a girl with some-self confidence and maybe a bit of violent tendencies? Someone with a sharp tongue maybe, but if you overdo it and try to pick fights with him, it’s over.
He’s not into the ones who complain or whine too much, so none of that for him.
Betrayal is a huge no. He wants someone loyal, who, even though is bad ass and rather bold in actions, to understand his life as a pirate and still deeply love and care for him,
whilst understanding that Kid may not know how to properly give affection back, since he’s rather rough and can be harsh even though he doesn’t mean it sometimes.
-
A/N : short HCs but I liked them, hopefully you did too! :) I’m sorry they’re not very detailed. But I wanted this out quickly!!

more than words
50 words; 50 sentences
ao3
#01 - Motion
A spinning kick, a swing of blade — the two meet and hit but don’t hurt, and Nami sighs exasperatedly at such a pathetic display of a mating dance.
#02 - Cool
Zoro stands his ground as his enemy — finally, finally — falls unceremoniously on his back, unconscious, and Sanji thinks for a moment that the sight of Zoro — wild and victorious and ready to take on the world — looks kind of, maybe, slightly cool.
  #03 - Young
Brook sees the two — dying to die for each other, the weight of their friends’ lives pulling down their shoulders — and he thinks too many people forget how young they still are.
  #04 - Last
The Cook is the last person Zoro would consider lending a hand in a fight — “who would want to work together with that dumbass anyway,” he lies whenever anyone asks, and doesn’t admit that it’s because he trusts Sanji’s ability to stand his ground, wholly and fully.
  #05 - Wrong
Sanji knows Zoro, like him, understands better than most — that this nakama thing isn’t just something you’d die for, but something you’d kill for, too.
  #06 - Gentle
Sanji manages to catch Kitetsu before it rolls off from the deck during a storm, and in that moment, Zoro knows, from the reverent way he regards the swords in his hands, that this isn’t the first time the Cook has wielded one.
  #07 - One
“Calm down, Marimo,” Sanji says with a dismissive wave of his hand when Zoro asks about the sword a few days later, “I’m not about to take your place as the ship’s swordsman; a cook doesn’t use his hands to fight, and I had a terrible teacher anyways.”
  #08 - Thousand
“I’m worth two thousand men,” Zoro grumpily says, almost sulking, and Nami can’t resist patting his head like she would to a little boy pulling the pigtail of a girl he has a crush on.
  #09 - King
You’re like the prince of Dumbass Kingdom, Zoro says, and it takes Sanji everything in him not to blurt out, Dumbass Kingdom sounds about right; wait ‘till you see the fucking king.
  #10 - Learn
Watching Sanji converse fluently with a couple of tourists in a Northern language, Zoro wonders when he will ever stop learning something new about Sanji — or if he ever will, at all.
  #11 - Blur
When Zoro finally comes to, the wounds from Bartholomeow Kuma is muted by Chopper’s medicine, a dull throb at the back of his consciousness; but the sharp pain against his heart feels raw still, visceral and razor-sharp, tucked alongside the ache of Sanji’s sacrifice.
#12 - Wait
“Wait,” he manages to croak out before Sanji flees the room, the word spilling out unbidden; he isn’t quite sure why, but he knows that he wants the Cook to stay.
  #13 - Change
“Have some fucking decency ,” Sanji yells, throwing a shirt at Zoro’s direction; the brute has been walking around the ship bare-chested like an eyesore ever since they entered the summer island, and Sanji is just trying to do everyone a favor — and definitely not because there’s a different kind of heat pooling at the pit of his stomach.
#14 - Command
Robin watches the two in amusement — Zoro could have easily refused to be Sanji’s pack mule, and she can hear him grumbling about it still; and yet, here they are, once again, together at the island’s marketplace.
#15 - Hold
Sanji is rough around the edges, bristling at the slightest touch; Zoro knows he needs to be gentle, but he doesn’t quite remember the last time he held something that isn’t a hilt of a sword, without meaning to hurt . It’s a learning curve. 
  #16 - Need
Sanji knows Zoro is a dumbass, but it takes a special kind of stupid to think he would never be good enough for Sanji, when he’s all that Sanji has ever needed.
#17 - Vision
Zoro never regrets losing his eye, but he wishes, sometimes, he could still take in the sight of Sanji with an unimpaired vision, just to see more of him.
  #18 - Attention
“You’re starting a fight, Marimo?” Sanji growls, voice low and dangerous, and Zoro thinks, yes, yes, anything to get you to look at me.
  #19 - Soul
He loves the kid like a brother, but sometimes Zoro hates how Luffy can easily see past his gruff words and feigned ignorance; the way Luffy only needs to take one look at him to guess, “you’re worried about Sanji, aren’t you?”
  #20 - Picture
He carries around everyone’s bounty posters, Sanji tells himself, and tries not to think too hard about how the only one he kept in his breast pocket is Zoro’s, folded neatly against his heart.
  #21 - Fool
“This is the dumbest thing you’ve ever done so far,” Sanji says when they part, lips still tingling from their earlier kiss, because Zoro’s love is fierce and consuming and Sanji knows, ever since he was just a kid with the iron mask, that he doesn’t deserve any of this.
  #22 - Mad
“Don’t you ever say that kind of shit again,” Zoro snarls, slamming the wall beside Sanji’s head, his voice trembling with a kind of anger Sanji has never seen him with before — frustrated, desperate. “You’re important to me, Cook.” 
  #23 - Child
Grow up and cast your dreams away, Sanji tells himself every day, the voice ringing in his ears; you stopped being a child deserving of a dream the moment you chained Zeff down to the ground.
  #24 - Now
Grow up and cast your dreams away, Sanji wants to tell himself, but the voice stutters, drowned out by the sight of the kid bleeding on the deck of Baratie — he’s a swordsman, too, acknowledged by none other than Dracule Mihawk himself — but a kid still, throwing himself headfirst towards the case of his dreams, steps unweighted by regrets.
  #25 - Shadow
Zoro doesn’t know which is worse — Sanji, forever running away from the shadow his brothers cast; or Zoro, chasing after someone who is no longer around to leave behind a shadow anymore.
  #26 - Goodbye
After Whole Cake Island, there’s a period of time where Zoro would follow Sanji around the ship like a lost puppy, unwilling to let the Cook out of his sight; Usopp definitely didn’t expect Zoro to have such a cute side, and crouches over his new invention to hide his smile.
  #27 - Hide
“We’re not doing that here,” Sanji hisses, and forces himself not to laugh at the pout on Zoro’s face; the galley might be secluded enough, but they’re still on the enemy ship’s galley.
  #28 - Fortune
It is annoying, the way Sanji keeps reminding Zoro that he could have collected Mihawk’s bounty and lived the rest of his life in wealth; especially when Zoro would trade any riches in the world just to stay by the Cook’s side.
  #29 - Safe
It catches Zoro off guard when Sanji starts talking about his mother; it’s a short anecdote, a single happy memory, but Zoro can tell by the way Sanji tells it — guarded and hesitant, like he wants to keep the words close and safe — that he has never shared it with anyone else before.
  #30 - Ghost
Usopp starts shaking like a leaf as soon as they enter the abandoned, dilapidated house, and Sanji gently tells him, sometimes the worst ghost is the one you create yourself; Zoro feels the weight of Wado on his hip, and agrees.
  #31 - Book
“I don’t need this,” Zoro grumbles with a blush, pushing the book back into Nami’s hands, trying hard to ignore Nami’s laughter and the words ROMANCE FOR DUMMIES emblazoned on the book’s jacket.
  #32 - Eye
Shusui sinks into the man’s stomach, all the way to the hilt, and Zoro thinks of the way Sanji curled into himself as the man landed a lucky hit on the cook’s hand. An eye for an eye.
  #33 - Never
“This is my first time,” Zoro whispers, head ducking away as he feels his face flush at the admission; but Sanji’s hand rests on his cheek, encouraging, and he can feel the curve of Sanji’s smile as their lips meet and Sanji replies, “it’s mine, too.”
  #34 - Sing
Luffy cheers when Zoro and Sanji comes into view, and he lets them take on the next batch of enemies; a good fight is always fun, but watching Zoro and Sanji fight is even more so — like watching a dance that only those two know the melody to.
  #35 - Sudden
“What, are we supposed to be surprised?” Nami says, barely looking up from the map she’s working on; Sanji sputters, face redder than the tomatoes he served during breakfast, and Nami feels almost bad for him.
  #36 - Stop
“But we — Zoro and I — how did you know?” Sanji asks, and promptly stops asking questions when he realizes the rest of the crew aren’t surprised either; who could blame them, when his and Zoro’s sexual tension can be seen from a mile away.
  #37 - Time
Sanji knows they have to break apart soon, just to breathe, but right now all he cares about is to taste as much of Zoro as possible — he has waited two years for this, and it has been two years too long.
  #38 - Wash
They have their fair share of fighting — and how, considering the amount of repairs Usopp has to do for Merry just from their petty fights alone — but what the crew doesn’t know is that they also have this thing, this quiet thing, just him and the Cook and a stack of dirty plates between them.
  #39 - Torn
“In retrospect,” Robin observes, “dressing up our dear cook in a maid uniform would not only lower the enemy’s firepower, but also ours, considering how distracted our swordsman has clearly become.”
  #40 - History
“Why do you keep him around, mister?” The kid asks, pointing at the old swordsman with three swords and an eye scar by the peer; Sanji laughs, pats the kid on the head, and says, almost wistfully — “you can say we have some history.”
  #41 - Power
Sanji tugs at Zoro’s sleeve, and Zoro follows suit despite his complaints — Sanji thinks, distantly, how much of an honor it is, to have so much control over such a powerful man.
  #42 - Bother
“I didn’t have enough time to make this three-tier ice cream cake for our lovely Nami-san and Robin-chan because you distracted me!” Sanji says with a hard jab of a finger against Zoro’s chest, and Zoro thinks, good .
  #43 - God
Zoro does not believe in gods, but there’s a hymn of a noise when Zoro presses his lips against the crook of Sanji’s neck, the hallelujah of the world breaking apart as their bodies move together, and he thinks, close enough .
  #44 - Wall
 Zoro slams his fist into the wall of Polar Tang, and is taken aback by the depth of his own frustration; he knows Luffy and the others will get Sanji back from Big Mom’s place, but it unsettles him still, the way Sanji hides himself under layers of pretenses when Zoro has bared so much of himself to the Cook in return.
  #45 - Naked
“What the fuck was that for , Mosshead?!” Sanji shrieks, justifiably furious, leg raised and on fire after Zoro sliced his tray into two without preamble; Zoro can’t exactly tell the Cook he did it because he was too surprised at the sight of Sanji in a swimming trunk and nothing else.
  #46 - Drive
Why Zoro , people sometimes ask, but the answer is easy to Sanji — nobody drives him crazy the way Zoro does, and is that not what true love feels like?
  #47 - Harm
Zoro knows Sanji will be furious ; but as he faces Kuma, knowing at least the Cook is out of harm’s way, he knows he would do this a hundred times over, a thousand times over, a million times over.
  #48 - Precious
Sanji is sitting by the corner of the infirmary, face pale with red-rimmed eyes, and Zoro thinks he’s never had that, before — people who would weep for him, knowing that he is more than dried scars and calloused skin.
  #49 - Hunger
This thing we have is dangerous, Sanji tells him, but Zoro doesn’t care — he already has a craving, the same way he needs a booze when it’s been too long, except he thinks that this vice will surely kill him.
  #50 - Believe
This isn’t faith; this is the truth, Zoro’s truth, the same way he knows he will become the Greatest — Sanji will find that elusive sea of his, and Zoro will stay with him until it is the last thing he can do.

Emperor’s New Clothes
Finders keepers, losers weepers!
When Sanji is wed, the Strawhats are too little, too late.
They come upon bloody bodies stuck on tables and chairs, all looking similar to their beloved Cook sans a large man with the only defining feature of blonde hair. They’re all barely alive, clinging to air for how knows long. Chopper is immediately upon them, panicked but steady, shouting instructions over Pedro and Brook’s direction as Carrot tries not to puke with Nami helping her out.
Luffy stands in front of the altar, quiet but not for long.
“Nami,” he says, without looking away at the place where Sanji had been forcefully thrust upon some random girl. He knows he likes women—loves them, even. But this place is a cage hidden with sweets and food that Luffy would never glance at, and Luffy should know (he nearly lost a brother to a similar, golden cage—). “Where?”
Nami stops from where she’s rubbing circles on the Mink’s back, sees the steel line on Luffy’s—no, her Captain’s shoulders and feels a comforting weight settle on her like a protective blanket, and she understands. She may not have Zoro’s innate understanding, nor Robin’s intelligent observations, or Ussop’s easy camaraderie, but she’s his Navigator. She’s the one who guids his anger and let him loose.
It isn’t raining, and there is no Aqua Laguna to run away from, but a nakama is missing (taken away from their home—) and if she has to set the World Government Flag on fire, she will.
“Follow me,” she answers, and knows it’s true.
(They’d give up their lives for him, but knows it’s harder to come back after turning him away)
Sanji is found in a small cottage, asleep and with a girl—his bride, but she looked no older than Shirahoshi—who cries and attempts to kill them with a grin on her face.
Luffy bats her away, then breaks the pistol and knife on her grasp. Face devoid of any joy, he asks, “Are you going to hurt him?”
Speechless, she doesn’t speak. But Luffy’s eyes tell stories when he doesn’t have the patience to, and she tears up as she nods, “For as long as I live.”
Nodding, and deeming her sincere, Luffy walks up to his Cook’s slumbering form and sets his hat on his chest without a word.
Exiting the safe haven amidst a cake-frosted wonderland, Strawhat Luffy leaves for war.
Katakuri sees the man in front of him, thin but whipcord strength hidden underneath his fancy clothes, a fedora atop where a strawhat should be.
He sees, then, still only for a moment, but what he has yet to hear staggers him.
“Move, I have no reason to fight you.”
It takes him a few beats before he realizes that Luffy had spoken in the present, and he can’t help the confused, “What?” Even as he already knows his answer, which was more baffling than the first one.
“Pigtails would cry, and she likes Sanji so I won’t make her sad,” was his simple reply. It was dumbfounding. “So move. I don’t wanna fight you.”
“And why should I?” He finds himself asking, and feels the breath knocked out of him when he gets an answer.
“I have business with Big Mom.”
Jinbei sets down the red cup, no fear whatsoever, for he knows his Captain will be the Future Pirate King. A mere Emperor should not faze him.
Then he comes, decked in red and black, his signature item gone but Jinbei isn’t worried. Luffy-kun is calm, eerily so, and it reminds him starkly of his desperate run towards his brother.
But this is different. This time, Sanji-kun is somewhere safe with a protector by his side, and Luffy is not alone.
“Oi,” he says, unheeding the others’ murmurs and incredulous stares. “You’re the one who took my Cook, right?” His brows furrow. “And you made Fishman Island your territory. You’re doing a pretty sucky job at it.”
“Oh? Aren’t you that pesky rookie who claimed Fishman Island as your own?” Big Mom sneers, haughty and confident in her powers. Around them, her children stir in unease, but refuse to show weakness. “Come here to prostrate yourself? Hah! As if I’d let you live.”
Then, in a rare occurence of seriousness, Luffy-kun’s face is shadowed as he shoots back, “I should be the one saying that to you.” And then he’s a blur of rage.
Big Mom meets his haki-coated fist with one of her own, the collision an explosion of wills that sends majority of those present flying, and Jinbei watches in awe even as he struggles to stand.
This... is a fight between Conquerors.
He sees one of Big Mom’s children—a little girl, who looked severely displeased—try to hit Luffy-kun woth her weapon, and he sends a stream of caramel towards her. Shifting into his favored stance, Jinbei faces the children of the soon-to-be defeated Emperor and introduces himself, palm up, “I am Jinbei of the Strawhat Pirates, and I shall be your opponent! Let’s not bother them, yes?”
They’re still fighting.
Pedro knows what Strawhat is doing is risky, knows that they still need to get to Wano, but Strawhat is still fighting and he’s losing.
“Pedro!” Nami yells, secure with the fact that they’ve gotten a copy of the Red Poneglyph. “We need to go! We’ll just get caught up in the crossfire at this rate!”
“But your captain—“
“Luffy will be fine!” She interrupts, and smiles. It’s not without worry, but filled with faith. Not blind faith of someone who worships gods, but one that has seen happenings people would call miracles when it was merely a kind and brave act of a human soul. “He’s gonna be the nest Pirate King, remember?” She winks, and Pedro...
Pedro remembers watching the Pirate King’s execution, remembers the rain against his fur and his sword slipping out of his paws.
Then he remembers all that they had done—infiltrated Tottoland, stole a copy of a Red Poneglyph, allied with another Worst Generation Rookie, successfully retrieved their crewmate—and lets himself hope that the sun will shine again, and bring about a new dawn.
Perhaps, after this, he’ll see his home bright and happy (truly happy) once this is done.
Luffy unlocks Snakeman, but it’s not enough.
He knows he’s not strong yet, knows there’s a reason Torao became his friend before going after Kaido, but Sanji was hurt and his family nearly got killes and Sanji—his kind, sweet Cook with a bleeding heart and kicks as hard as steel—would forever blame himself if he didn’t do anything about it.
Sanji is strong, but not as strong as he is. And Luffy is the Captain, so it’s his turn to help him.
Once more concentrating on his haki, he stores up all the helplessness at Sanji being taken away (yet another failure, what kind of captain is he?), the fury (how dare they steal Sanji’s freedom!?), the sorrow (oh, he’ll be sad. He’’ll cry. Luffy can’t let that happen), the glee (he’s safe he’s here he’s whole he won’t die like Ace—) and glares down at Big Mom, huffing and puffing and the flames on her hair dying. The cloud was taken by Nami, so he won’t have to worry about that. He’s rubber, anyway.
He recalls Katakuri’s resigned admittance, the way he’d said, “I can’t leave my family.”
It sounded like—(“Leave them. If I come back with you, leave them.”)
It doesn’t matter now. He’ll beat up Big Mom, make Crybaby-Hoshi’s home safe, and take back the Mochi-bastard with them to Wano. He’ll like the donuts Sanji’ll make.
Decision made, he jumps and meets Big Mom head-on and, this time, it’ll be the last time.
When it happened, nobody knew except those in Tottoland had any idea what was going on (not even those who watched it with their own eyes could dream to describe it).
It starts like a thunderclap, but silent. An abrupt hush all over the world, enveloping everything within, and left all wondering but largely unafraid.
Only one can put it into words, but that was only because he’d lived through it before.
Rayleigh looked up not at the sky, but the sea in the horizon, and mused, “Took you long enough,” as he drank a glass of whiskey.
Roger’s had been more like a roar, a threat and a promise all wrapped in one.
“Let’s turn the world upside-down,” he said. And he did. Oh, how well he did.
But Luffy’s was different. A declaration of war, a simple fact with no room for arguement:
“Mine.”
And Rayleigh can’t help but laugh, for the boy who only wanted freedom and adventure, will be the one who conquered all.
He couldn’t believe it. Mama, Mama was—
Dynasty decapitated—
Oven looked at where Mama’s body had flown, sinking into the depths of the sea she loved so. Strawhat Luffy was barely standing, but the sight that he was, that Mama was the one who wasn’t—
“I told you, didn’t I?” He heard, and saw the other Strawhats emerge from where they were hiding on their ship. The busty gingerhead was smiling smugly at a jaw-dropped Pedro, Zeus (coward traitor that he was) cowering behind her shoulder.
—you just might see a ghost tonight.
“Luffy!” The racoon(?) yelled, worry in his features and pale, “You’re injured—heck, you’re worse than any physical dismemberment I’ve seen in my life! And let me tell, you, Doctorine made sure of that!”
“Luffy-san!” The skeleton yohohoho’ed, but the grip he had on his guitar was, well, bone-white. “Come, let us come home! Our nakama is waiting for us!”
Groggily, Strawhat lifts his head up, gaze blurry and almost catatonic. If he moves now, he could—
“Don’t,” Oven gaped at his triplet, and barely has a second to understand what he meant before Strawhta speaks up, voice shaky but with a command that said, Listen.
“You...” he whispers, coarsely. “This place... and Fish...’n Island...”
Oven knew what he was about to say, but nothing prepared for him to be pinned down by a stare heavier than gravity itself,
“They’re mine now.”
Then Katakuri flinches, seeing something with his advanced sight as he chokes out a, What!? And then he realizes Strawhat wasn’t done. Not yet.
Finger pointed solely on his big brother—their Katakuri, Luffy announces, “Him too.”
There’s a stillness, like the whole world was holding in its breath. And then—
“I can’t,” Katakuri answers, and he looks so sad and small that Oven can’t believe he’ve never seen this. Never seen the longing and sheer want that Katakuri’s gaze held as he watched Strawhat fight and breathe like he was God’s Word come to life. “I—“
“I...” he pants, but his eyes are determined—the same determination that brought Mama down with his fists and pure spite. “...are you happy?”
Katakuri doesn’t answer. It was enough.
“Go,” Oven murmurs, and Katakuri looks so shocked that his heart clenched. Had they really been so blind to their brother’s woes? “Join him. Call us sometimes.”
Daifuku claps his shoulder, and Smoothie nods. Amande takes out her cigar, and Annana is too young but smiles supportively nevertheless. Katakuri watches his family wait for him, and feels tears pool his eyes.
Brulee pushes him, only able to move him because he was idle, and she tears up as she says, “Be free, brother.”
You’ve done so much for us, let us return your love.
“It’s not goodbye,” Daifuku says. “It never is.”
Throughout it all, Strawhat is patient, and the rest of his crew don’t move. Though the racoon seemed to be a second away from sprinting on land and dragging Katakuri back himself.
Swallowing, Katakuri approaches Straw—no, his Captain, and kneels. Not in deference, but to meet him eye to eye.
Slowly, he unravels his scarf, and despite the horrified intakes of breaths, all the Charlotte Siblings had eyes on were Luffy.
And he doesn’t disappoint (not like Mama—Big Mom)
“Huh, cool teeth...” he grins, tired but so full of warmth even Oven feels safe looking at it. What more to Katakuri who’s been accepted without a second thought? “Like... Barto’s... you guys should... meet...”
“Of course,” Katakuri says, and it sounds like a vow, like I’ll follow you beyond death.
Oven doesn’t blame him.
“From now henceforth,” Smoothie suddenly breaks the atmosphere. All look, expect for Luffy who is carried by Katakuri as if it was the most natural thing to do in the world. Maybe it was, maybe it is. “The Big Mom Pirates are now underneath the Strawhats’ Flag. Any opposition?”
None, save for Luffy’s dismayed groan of, There is no Strawhat Grand Fleet!
Scattered laughter erupts, and Katakuri looks more relaxed than Oven has ever seen him just by being with Luffy, and feels more glad of his decision.
And so Katakuri carries Luffy back home to their ship, with Jinbei and the Sun Pirates following, and Oven feels content.
Sanji can’t face him, doesn’t even dare to look at his—at Luffy, the strawhat a heavy reminder of what he left behind, of what he’d done.
“I can’t be the Pirate King without you!”
“Sanji,” Luffy starts, and Sanji can’t hold back his sobs. How could he, when the floor he’s looking at is the welcome sight of Sunny’s wonderful kitchen, when he’s away from that hellhole (and his blood family was alive, by the gods—), when standing before him was a Messiah that refused to be known as anythinh other than simply Luffy.
But he lifts his head up still, meets unfathomable dark eyes, and as they soften with a knowing look, Sanji—
Sanji breaks.
It’s messy, a loud keen tearing from his abused throat. His wrists are free and he still has his hands, his Captain is kissing them like they’re pure gold itself, and he’s wrapped in an embrace like nothing can touch him and he knows it’s true. Knows that, for him—useless, unwanted failure of Germa 66. Simple East Blue cook with a debt never (could never be) repaid and skirt-chaser. Vinsmoke Sanji. Blackleg Sanji. Strawhat Sanji—Luffy would break heaven and raise unimaginable hell. For anyone he considers as nakama—
For anyone he loves and Sanji can’t—
“I’m sorry,” it’s weak, nothing compared to the feeling of his Captain’s face smashed against his shoe, and he wants to cut his legs off—“I—I wanna go home.” I wanna go home with you.
I wanna go to the sea with you.
I—
“Silly Sanji,” he shishishi’s, and it sounds like forgiveness he doesn’t deserve. Curved crescents and a blinding grin. “You’re already home. We’re in the Sunny, remember?”
Welcome home.
Sanji laughs, hysterical and so full of relief. And then Luffy’s—his Captain, by god—dragging him out to the deck to meet “Mochi-bastard, he loves donuts!”, and it doesn’t matter that Nami had slapped him when she’s hugging him so tearfully like he’d slip through her fingers, doesn’t matter that he lied to Chopper when he’s clinging on his leg with insults spewing out, doesn’t matter that Brook was a skeleton when he shakes and rattles as he holds him close—
Because Sanji... Sanji’s finally home.
I wanna give All Blue to you, my Captain.
Torao looks at the way Blackleg-ya had a piece of Mugiwara-ya’s yukata on his hand, like a child that could get lost in a crowd. He looks at the unmistakeable forms of the Former Warlord Jinbei-ya’s “First Son of the Sea”, and Charlotte Katakuri “Dogtooth” having brunch with a three-eyed woman. He looks at Roronoa-ya’s unsurprised and exasperatedly fond look and just. Throws his hands up in the air and walks away.
He’s not paid enough to deal with this shit.
Shanks takes one look at the newspaper the News Coo gave him and spits out his drink.
“Capt’n?” Yassop asked, early-riser that he is. “What’s—“ he stops, and Shanks feels his shoulders shake.
There, bold in and huge, were the words printed for the world to know, “Big Mom, Defeated! Strawhat Luffy Is Crowned Emperor of the Seas!” And “Fishman Island and Tottoland, Flies the Strawhats’ Flags!”
Shanks finally guffaws, loud and like his old Captain’s, and he yells to the bastards he called nakama, “See this? Anchor’s an Emperor now! Just like your Captain! DAHAHAHAHAHA!”
“What,” is Benn’s first words in the morning. Yassop is still looking at the newspaper as if it could answer the questions of the universe. “He just brought down Joker, can’t that brat take a rest for us old folk?”
“Nope!” Lucky Roux beams, drumstick at hand. “It’s how we met him, remember?” And Shanks does. He really, truly does. Just like how he ran up on the dock of his West Blue island home and yelled at Roger to take him in.
Feeling for the phantom of a strawhat loved and dear, Shanks faces the sea and hollers, “All hands on deck! Set a course, my fellow bastards!”
“Where to, Captain?” Benn asks, but his grey eyes already know.
Gleefully, he screams an announcement of his own:
I’m taking back the crown! I’m all dressed up and naked!
“Wano! I wanna see Anchor plummet Kaido to the ground!”
I see what’s mine and take it!
“Make way for the King.”

Points of No Return
SCRIBBLE #13 : OFF COURSE
Disclaimer: One Piece (and its characters) belongs to Eiichiro Oda-sensei.
Reminder: I have no beta-reader. Any grammatical and spelling errors are solely mine.
Warning: OOC possible. One shot.
Rating: T
Note: From Project Prompt List: The Drabble List 2. Prompt # 36.
I love the romance dawn trio, the OG3. This drabble is in honor of them.
Summary: “I am lost without you.”
The flying slash severed the town’s bar in half and decimated it… even if he tried to block the attack by sending one of his own.
The road to claiming the title of the world’s strongest swordsman is on a different level when they entered the New World. Opponents were stronger, fiercer, more dangerous.
And some of them never even blinked at the thought of fighting unfair or even involving unknowing bystanders in their onslaughts.
He found Nami buried under the rubble, not moving… her face as white as alabaster, her hair a stark contrast against the cold, grey stones of the bar’s remains.
And her blood… trickling down into a pool underneath her limp body.
He heard his voice gradually rising into a roar of her name as he tried to wake her up and didn’t receive any response.
A lump formed in his throat. The awfully distinct smell of blood, her blood, reaching his nose, filling it.
He felt a heavy feeling sinking in his chest, down into the pit of his stomach.
He failed to protect her.
He failed her as a nakama.
Nami wake up! Come on.
He leaned down her body and buried his face into his hands.
------------------------
“Where are you going Zoro? Stay put and guard the ship!”
“Why should I?”
“Because we need someone to be on the lookout! Plus you’ll just get lost you stupid oaf! This island’s topography will be the death of you!”
“I don’t get LOST! And I don’t need to listen to you. I’m fine!”
“No you’re not!”
“Will you people stop saying that I always get lost! I don’t!
“Maybe if you actually stop getting lost, we would!”
“You guys are the ones who keep disappearing on me!”
With a growl, he swiftly turned away from the orange-haired woman who was glaring daggers at him.
“Zoro wait! I’m coming with you! Kami knows you need someone to put a leash on you!”
“Uruse!”
Zoro felt a hand on his shoulder, pulling him away from that what took place earlier that day in the Sunny that kept replaying itself inside his mind.
He raised his head. Luffy was standing beside him. His expression serious.
“It’s not your fault Zoro.”
“I…”
Luffy’s hand tightened its grasped on his shoulder.
“She’s with me. She’s my responsibility.”
“Nobody’s blaming you.”
That made him scoff. “Shit cook begs to differ.”
“He’s… feeling the same as you do,” Luffy removed his precious straw hat from his head.
Zoro blankly watched him.
“Hey! Where are you going?”
“Back to the ship! I wanna drink without you breathing down my neck every fucking minute!”
“Let me finish playing first!”
He didn’t bother replying. Instead he sneered and left her inside the tavern in the midst of her card game.
The moment he stepped outside…
… the flying slash came.
“It’s not like you wanted her to get hurt Zoro,” Luffy suddenly spoke, dragging him away from his thoughts again. The younger man carefully placed his treasured hat beside the sleeping Nami’s hand, letting the tip of her fingers touch the worn out edges.
“I’d never…” Zoro’s voice trailed off as he stared at his captain. Luffy’s eyes were steady, gazing at him with unwavering trust. He exhaled sharply. “You know how we are with each other.”
A smile appeared on Luffy’s face and Zoro was left wondering about the profundity of his captain’s trust and understanding in his friends.
“I know.” Luffy reached out and grabbed Zoro’s hand. “Chopper said she’ll be ok.” He placed Zoro’s hand on top of Nami’s. “Trust Nami alright? She’s strong. She’s not going to let this beat her.”
Zoro stared intently at their hands for a moment. Warmth seemed to radiate from it.
And he understood what Luffy was trying to tell him.
What he seems to be forgetting.
Nami maybe a coward at times. She may run and hide instead of fighting an enemy head on but despite that…
She IS strong. And enduring.
She will not let something like this beat her or take her down.
Zoro managed a small smile and in a rare display of affection, he squeezed Luffy’s hand.
Luffy’s face brightened at that. Zoro looked so devastated earlier while Chopper was tending to Nami’s injuries. He stood like a frozen statue in front of the closed infirmary door as Sanji hurled curses and kicks at him. Not once did the swordsman budged. Not once did he block the cook’s attack.
He just stood there looking lost more than ever.
“You watch her for now Zoro,” the rubber man ordered, tightening his grip on his friend’s hand. “Captain’s order!”
Zoro nodded, muttering a ‘yes captain’ under his breath and Luffy promptly moved to exit the room, giving Nami one last glance and a reassuring tap on Zoro’s shoulder.
The green-haired man turned to look at resting navigator. Her slow yet steady breathing the only sound filling the room.
“Just be ok Nami,” he whispered. “You can triple or quadruple my debt, raise it sky high, I don’t care. Just be here to do it.”
He bent down to rest his forehead against his hand that was still resting on top of hers.
“I am lost without you.”
And her fingers moved to clasp his hand in hers.
